The Proposed Project

The lighting harmonization project on the terminal involves the replacement of the Metal-Halide type lights currently in place with LED technology. The project has multiple objectives, including the improvement of the level of safety, energy consumption reduction, light pollution reduction outside the terminal and the limitation maintenance activities on the light fixtures.

The SPA aims to reuse the existing poles in order to install LED floodlights which will be more efficient and better oriented towards the work areas. Lighting will be strategically oriented to maximize ground illumination and limit sky brightness.
