Strategic pole placement was vital due to proximity of underground services to the pathway, particularly a VIVA energy high pressure oil pipe. Requirements specified an exclusion zone of 4M for pole from the oil pipe. This required the engineering of outreaches of 3.5m in some areas to ensure a consistent coverage of lighting for the pathway.

Tree shading also needed consideration as there are three areas that have high tree foliage blocking sun light. A Master/Slave arrangement was design for this by using a large AE6 solar engine to not only power the light connected to it’s own pole, but also an additional light on separate pole 30m down the pathway with no solar engine attached.

Lastly, due to the extensive in ground infrastructure and the large amount of tree roots, a hydro excavation method was used for trenching and footings which eliminated any possible damage to the underground works or the surrounding environment.
