Tema LNG Terminal
Solar Bollard Lighting can be found all over the world, but you would seldom find a more challenging environment than the Tema LNG Terminal in the nation of Ghana in sub – Saharan Africa. The port facility, which is designed to receive LNG carriers, then store and regasify the LNG.
Solar Bollard Lighting can be found all over the world, but you would seldom find a more challenging environment than the Tema LNG Terminal in the nation of Ghana in sub – Saharan Africa. The port facility, which is designed to receive LNG carriers, then store and regasify the LNG. The required Solar Bollard Lights had to meet and overcome many challenges and the SBL2 solar bollard light is the only commercial product in the world that met the brief which included:
• The proximately of the lighting to the surrounding ocean meant the solar bollard lights were often located within a few metres of the water’s edge. The SBL 2 series has unique properties that make it the only solar bollard light in the world that is able to operate and survive in these harsh conditions.
• The SBL 2 series is the only solar bollard light in the world with an IP68 submersible rating, with the constant unpredictable bad weather and storm surges the SBL2 series is ideally suited to operate under these extreme marine conditions.
• Salt corrosion is a constant problem for most port environments, which is why the commercial grade 6106 EN extruded aluminum alloy pole on all Solar Bollard Lighting models, the poles are impervious to rust or corrosion from the salt water.
The Australian built SBL 2 series solar bollard lights are extremely strong and were the first solar bollard lights in the world to attain an IK1o vandal – resistant rating.
