POTI PORT

On behalf of APM Terminals, CU Phosco were approached by a local Georgia-based contractor to support the development of the country’s largest seaport.

As part of one of the largest port expansion projects, CU Phosco were tasked with the supply of new High Masts and retrofit of lighting to existing High Masts in the main port. A new, extended container terminal saw further requirements for High Mast and lighting to ensure the safety of users of the port.

To accommodate the increasing volume of sea traffic to the busiest port in Georgia, APM Terminals identified a need to increase the port from 35 hectares to an anticipated expansion to add 100 hectares of land.

In the existing area of the port, the CU Phosco team were tasked with a retrofit project to replace 20 existing High Masts.

The expanded area of the port terminal required 22 new High Masts, where 18 x 45m and 4 x 30m masts, we installed. To support the safety of all users the new terminal, from ship crew to ground personnel, the team installed CU Phosco Floodlights including: 41 x FL820-3, 157 x FL820-2, and 61 x FL820-1. A further 17 x P861 and 98 x P863 for the approach to the port with 61 x 9m Forest Columns installed.

CU Phosco worked to support the local installation team to complete the project on time and on budget, and assisted Charles Indirect with the installation of the Celtek CMS System to manage the whole site.

Achieving lighting efficiency and safety for the expansion of Georgia’s largest port was paramount for this project, ensuring that all users had superior visibility.

Furthermore, the project ensured that the port was equipped with the latest in lighting and control management technology, ensuring future energy efficiency and savings to the operator.
