Since the end of 2006, Dublin Port Tunnel has provided a link to the wider motorway network between Dublin Port and the M50 motorway, routing heavy goods transport quickly, quietly and safely away from city and residential areas. Contractors replaced the existing Philips WRTL SON-T lighting -installed 17 years ago - with LED lights which dramatically reduced the energy needed to keep the lights on. Installers made use of the existing high-quality housings which were all retested and CE marked to current standards. Philips METIS 2816 LED insert trays were fitted. As the new lights were made to perfectly fit the existing fittings, installation could be completed with minimal disruption to road users. Installers worked during late night and early morning hours over five weeks. Each lantern took just five minutes to strip out and replace. Reusing materials also kept the project's capital expense to a minimum, saving an estimated €3 million compared to a new installation. |
