NorthConnex Tunnel

NorthConnex is a nine kilometre long,
two-tube, twin-lane tunnel linking the
M1 Pacific Motorway at Wahroonga to
the Hills M2 Motorway in northern
Sydney. Inaugurated in October 2020
this tunnel will enable motorists to travel
from Newcastle to Melbourne without a
single set of traffic lights, paving the
way for more efficient travel.

The infrastructure lighting solution met
the brief for photometrical and thermal
performance, energy efficiency and
lighting control expertise for this new
tunnel. Just over 1,100 OMNISTAR and
5,000 GL2 Compact luminaires
controlled by the ATS system were
installed.

They deliver a bright white light that
guarantees high uniformity on the road
and optimal visibility to ensure comfort,
safety and perfect visual guidance
throughout the 9km-long tunnel.

The tunnel lighting has created a safe
and comfortable tunnel environment for
motorists while enabling local authorities
to ensure operational efficiencies, lower
lifecycle costs and achieve sustainability
goals.

NorthConnex was the first road project
in Australia to be awarded a “Leading
Infrastructure Sustainability Design
rating by the Infrastructure
Sustainability Council of Australia
(ISCA).

Transmission Gully

A key part of the Wellington Northern
Corridor ‘roads of national significance’,
the project is one of the most significant
single pieces of new road construction
in the lower North Island.

The $850 million Transmission Gully
motorway was a three-year project,
complex in both design and build with
significant civil engineering requirements.

Betacom provided full lighting
design for the project that was
fitted with Schréder Teceo
luminaires including external peer
reviews for compliance to the
required standards.

Christchurch City

Christchurch City has upgraded the
majority of street lights to LED, with a
mixture of traditional street lighting and
the more decorative style to meet the
various needs of design styles for some
residential suburbs.

Betacom provided a mix of Sylvania
Schréder SastaLED and the Albany
decorative by Schréder Europe. In
excess of 2500 luminaires were
supplied.

Both options provided the modern,
sleek, energy efficient and lighting
needs to meet the best outcomes for
the city and residents. All luminaires
connect into the city’s Central
Management System.

Kaikoura Township

Kaikoura had a unique set of
requirements while upgrading the
old High Pressure Sodium (HPS)
street lighting to LED. These were
based around an impressive
requirement to have a minimal impact
on “Night Skies” light levels and also to
help prevent light strike for the local
protected bird species: Shearwater
fledglings.

The lighting design provided a solution
using a mixture of 3000K (pale light)
and 2200K (specific to Night Skies
accreditation) to ensure minimal
impact to these environmental issues.

A full cloud based control system was
also installed so that each streetlight
has its own direct communication via
the Cell Phone Data Network to the
control system. Performance of each
luminaire can be measured and energy
savings monitored.

Any fault incidence is immediately
reported via the Cloud and reported by
asset location (of each streetlight),
saving costs in maintenance and
management of the entire street
lighting network in Kaikoura.
