LED lighting solution for waste management facility
When the City of Cape Town Solid Waste Depart-
ment undertook the development of a new Refuse
Transfer Station adjacent to the existing waste
management facility in Bellville, Cape Town, BEKA
Schréder was chosen to supply a comprehensive
LED lighting solution for the project.
Mott MacDonald PDNA was the appointed
Consulting Engineer and energy-efficient lighting
in the buildings; site lighting; and security lighting
of the boundary fence were a high priority. During
the design stage, traditional light sources had been
specified in the lighting designs since at that point
LED technology was only starting to pave its way
into the industry. By the time the project reached
the tender stage, LED technology had advanced so
rapidly that energy-efficient LED lighting solutions
became feasible. The design team changed the
lighting design to use LED technology and make
the facility more energy efficient and economical
to maintain.
The LED solution provided many more benefits
than those offered by the traditional light sources,
with the following being the most important: sig-
nificant energy savings, even lighting, unobtrusive
lighting with substantially lower glare and spill light,
lower light pollution with virtually no direct upward
light, lower maintenance costs and good colour
rendering.
The new facility comprises various buildings,
including an administration office building, waste
handling and workshop buildings with a total cov-
ered area of approximately 8630 m², and situated
on a site with a total area of 120 000 m².
The site and security lighting were realised
with LEDlume-midi 60 W high-performance LED
luminaires, and LEDflood 136 W floodlights. The
interior lighting for the buildings was realised with
LEDflare and LEDtec 108W luminaires. BEKABULK
LED 18 W and SERIES LED 10 W bulkheads were
installed around the exterior of the buildings.
With the aid of BEKA Schréder’s applications
department, all the necessary specified exterior
lighting level requirements were achieved.
BEKA Schréder locally develops and manufac-
tures LED lighting products that are designed and
suitable for harsh local conditions. The company is
proud to be associated with the City of Cape Town
and Mott MacDonald PDNA in providing a success-
ful lighting solution for this significant project.
