Temple Mills Eurostar repair sheds & train line at Orient Way

 

Our High Mast systems and Prismalume luminaires are ensuring that suitable light levels are maintained within the Temple Mills Eurostar repair sheds and train line at Orient Way. The £400 million "big shed", more officially known as Temple Mills Depot, is now the main heavy duty repair centre for Eurostar trains and replaced the original UK depot at North Pole near Willesden. Working closely with the Channel Tunnel Rail Link project team, we designed a lighting system that delivered a high level of flexibility while optimising visual performance and energy efficiency.

The High Mast system uses 20m high masts with IP65 cut-off luminaires; each mast uses 4 x 400W high pressure sodium lamps. To meet the lighting requirements in the sheds, these have been configured to provide a long and narrow lighting distribution. The High Masts are fitted with an integral winch assembly to facilitate lowering the head frame for re-lamping and maintenance.

The High Mast system works in harmony with 515 x 400W ventilated Prismalume luminaires which are situated in the "big shed" - which is 435m long, 54m wide and has a roof height of 12m. Prismalume was a perfect solution for this application as the maintenance cycle for glass luminaires meant that they will only need to cleaned when changing the lamps, whereas aluminium or plastic would need cleaning every 2 years.
