The design of the masts and concrete foundations and the assembly and erection of the masts including all electrical equipment in the masts.
The installation comprised of fifty Railow type masts and housing 6 x 1000 watt light fittings per mast.
The civil work alone was a huge challenge as the mast had to erected on four different sites. The soil conditions was also extremely poor as some of the foundations had to be excavated up to four times in different locations in order to obtain acceptable soil bearing capacity.
The forty meter masts were transported by road in batches of five masts per load to site. The masts were assembled with all the internal electrics and light fittings next to each perspective foundation with out any welding done on site.
The masts were lifted with a 30 ton hydraulic type mobile crane.
This project was one of the biggest single orders placed on Lighting Structures for the same product by one client. |
