The projects with the most calculation behind them

P&O Ferries terminal lit up at night, seen from above
Port and Terminal

An earlier LED installation with sports floodlights did not perform in the port. We designed a new solution with tightly aimed DarkLicht luminaires on thirty new mast structures. Better beam control put more usable light on the yard at a fraction of the consumption.

Energy consumptionaround 66 % lower
New mast constructions30
Time on site2 weeks
Terminal during the worksfully operational
Inspection of the PTC210 lighting at Mammoet's yard in Schiedam at night
Heavy lifting

Lighting for one of the heaviest ring cranes in the world. The challenge was not light output but keeping shadow and glare out at a hundred and sixty metres, under vibration, wind load and low temperature.

Working height160 m
Loadsvibration, wind, frost
Design objectiveshadow-free lifting plane
Also applied inDalsøyra, Norway
The site won the award for best performing construction site
Construction and infrastructure

Tower crane lighting renewed with Ballast Nedam Materieel and Heddes. Because the DarkLicht luminaires are smaller, four fitted in the crane instead of three, aimed so that the light falls on the site only. Neighbours and wildlife are less affected than before.

Energy consumption73 % lower
Luminaires per crane4 instead of 3
AwardBest Performing Construction Site in the Netherlands
