Aberdeen Port & Harbour - Case Study -
About Our Client:
Aberdeen Harbour, situated in the northeast of Scotland, is a historic and bustling port that plays a crucial role in the region’s maritime and economic activities. Nestled along the coast of the North Sea, the harbour has a rich history that dates back centuries, transforming from a small fishing port into a major international shipping hub. Its strategic location has contributed to its prominence, serving as a gateway for trade and commerce between Scotland and various global destinations.
Today, Aberdeen Harbour is not only a vital centre for offshore oil and gas support services but also accommodates a diverse range of maritime activities, including shipping, fishing, and ferry services.
The Challenge:
The Aberdeen Harbour expansion project focused on enhancing the harbour’s facilities. This included constructing new quays, deepening berths, and improving infrastructure to accommodate larger vessels, particularly in the offshore oil and gas sector. The lighting design prioritised energy-efficient LED fixtures, which are suitable for harsh environments and allow for easy maintenance and repairs.
As part of this development, there was a requirement for new port lighting to ensure safe and efficient operations, especially during night shifts and adverse weather conditions.
Lighting Solution:
Quay Area:
• 12 x GL high masts
• Challenger 1 LED 1500W & 500W
Perimeter Fence Line:
Aberdeen
- Case Study -
• Medium duty flange plated 8m columns
• S-LUM Gen 3 luminaires
Gatehouse:
• 3 x 10m columns
• F-LUM Midi floodlights
A wireless control system has been installed throughout the facility, allowing the lighting to be dimmed via a computer system located in the gatehouse.
The construction of sturdy masts and columns is crucial for maintaining the structural integrity of the expanded Aberdeen Harbour. These components are specifically engineered to endure harsh maritime conditions, ensuring long-term durability and reliability.
Moreover, the installation of a new LED lighting system significantly enhances the operational efficiency of Aberdeen Harbour. Abacus Lighting’s advanced technology not only illuminates the expanded port but also substantially reduces energy consumption and maintenance costs.
In summary, Abacus Lighting’s contributions to the Aberdeen Harbour expansion improve safety, energy efficiency, and technological advancement, solidifying Aberdeen’s position as a vital maritime hub.
