CUSTOMER     Major UK Port Authority

Ports Division of our Customer, a leading European infrastructure and transportation group with over 300 years of history with operations in several ports, had an investment plan in place to change its existing infrastructures and develop new ones in the ports where it operates. Top priority within this investment plan was to act in different port terminals handling miscellaneous bulk solids, where specific lighting systems were needed for ATEX zone operations, including highly aggressive environments with much dust suspended in the air. SAFE OPERATION (Customer’s strategic target) on existing facilities was the main objective, together with an increase of its efficiency and competitiveness

A robust, high-quality LED solution designed and manufactured in Europe, with IECEX and ATEX certifications for operations in Zones 21 and 22, II 2 GD Ex db IIB+H2 T6 Gb Ex tb IIIC T85ºC Db, IP66 protection level for operations in temperatures ranging from –20º C to +50º C. Its tubular construction prevents the accumulation of dust, potentially explosive, on the luminaires which is of upmost importance in this type of facilities, facilitating also its cleaning and minimizing risks.
