Kazungula Bridge Features New Decorative LED Lighting Solution
Kazungula Bridge is a road and rail bridge over the Zambezi River between the countries of Zambia and Botswana at the town of Kazungula.
The 923-metre-long bridge links the town of Kazungula in Zambia with Botswana. The bridge features a single-line railway track between two traffic lanes and walkways for pedestrians.
Before the bridge was opened for traffic, direct traffic between the two countries was possible only by ferry. The bridge takes advantage of the short 135-metre border the two countries share at the river and is curved to avoid the nearby borders of Zimbabwe and Namibia.
BEKA Schréder has supplied the LED lighting solution for the Kazungula Bridge and the Botswana and Zambian border posts.
Kazungula Bridge
The beautifully constructed bridge called for a decorative LED lighting solution to complement its features. HESTIA LED luminaires on curved poles have been installed on the bridge.
Lighting for pedestrians was not forgotten, making it safer for them to walk along the bridge. The elegance of the luminaires and poles, together with the energy savings which will be achieved through LED technology whilst still achieving a high light output, were a winning combination.
Botswana and Zambia Border Posts
Decorative LEDSHINE LED post tops provide road and general lighting to the Botswana border post. This luminaire has been designed to limit upward lighting to create a visually pleasing light distribution.
The LEDSHINE luminaire’s limiting energy consumption compared to conventional luminaires results in it being a valued investment. Thanks to its reliable performance, and no need for relamping and regular maintenance, the LEDSHINE is the ideal luminaire for your urban decorative application.
LEDFLOOD-MIDI floodlights provide general area lighting for the truck and inspection parking areas. The LEDFLOOD luminaire range has been designed to offer energy savings, low maintenance requirements and precise light control.
BEKA Schréder develops and manufactures energy-efficient LED lighting products in South Africa, designed and suitable for local conditions.
We are very proud to be associated Daewoo Construction, Gibb and Hatch Consultants in providing a decorative LED lighting solution for this project.
