20-Nov-2009 - Crossing The River Oder At Swinemünde
|
 |
Over the past weeks Europoles has installed two truly giant poles in Swinemünde
Harbour, on the island of Usedom near the Baltic Sea coast. The solution for an overhead powertransmission line was challenging: to cross the Swina (the estuary of the River Oder into the Baltic Sea), we are talking about a span of 477 metres! |

LIGHTING – Europoles delivers floodlighting for the world-famous Holmenkollen ski jump As part of modernization of the oldest ski-jump in the world – the Holmenkollen complex near the Norwegian capital of Oslo – Europoles delivered the lighting system. Six floodlight masts, between 32 and 43 metres high, now provide an illumination system suited for TV broadcasts, as well as an overall symmetrical lighting pattern. Despite the great variations in the terrain elevations, the mean light-source heights of the respectively opposing masts are exactly the same. Owing to substantial public interest in modification of the complex, the contracting parties placed great importance on the selection of the pole providers, and on their experience and references. From the very beginning, Europoles supported its customer in this project, and assured reliable execution of the project – which meant a bonus of security for the customer.

POWER – Prototype of a vertical wind-power system is installed In Braunschweig, Germany, Europoles has installed the prototype of a vertical wind-power system. In addition, three additional systems, each with 5 kW, have since been already installed. These soundless vertical systems can be used for many and various purposes: for example, for generation of power for heating and cooling plants. With such systems, the operators will not be affected by rising energy prices, and will contribute to conservation of valuable resources and environmental protection by reduction of CO2 emissions.
TRAFFIC – runway approach-lighting system for the airport in Zweibrücken The installation of two Europoles flash-lighting systems for the runway approach at Zweibrücken Airport in the Palatinate district of Germany, has aided in upgrading the airport from Category I to Category II for instrument landing systems (ILS). As a result, the airport can serve more aircraft than before. Europoles produced the poles as hybrid products: the lower parts of the 20-metre masts are folded-steel polygonal masts, and the upper parts are made of glass-fibre-reinforced plastic (GRP). Beginning at the middle, the masts are tiltable and can be easily serviced from the work platform installed there – without interfering with air traffic.

LIGHTING – projector-reflector system at Oslo Main Train Station... As part of the largest urban renewal project in Oslo for 15 years, the environs of its Main Train Station, the busiest in the country, will be re-designed. Just recently, 6 customized projector-reflector poles from Europoles have been installed to provide effective lighting for the area. The steel poles are distinctive not only by their appealing design, but also by their resistant powder-coating finish. For more details on our lighting masts, check out the following: > Lighting
TRAFFIC– ...and catenary lines for the Oslo tram network Two at tone blow: in addition to the new projector-reflector units in Oslo, 9 catenary poles by Europoles now grace the public square in front of Jernbanetorget Train Station. In order to create a uniform and aesthetic overall city landscape impression, the catenary poles, just like the projector-reflector units, will be powder-coating finished in metallic grey and provided with anti-graffiti protection.
