Wankhede Stadium Pic: John Ashwin
Abacus secured the contract and installed Challenger 3 floodlights in partnership with Bajaj Electrical in India. The lights were fitted to headframes on four 60 metre towers and in addition to the stadium roof canopy.
‘The lighting levels at Wankhede have significantly improved as a result of the installation,’ says Abacus’s John Anthony. ‘They now meet and exceed the levels required for an international cricket event, receiving praise for their excellent uniformity and unmatched light control which we hope will be demonstrated this Saturday in Mumbai.”
Abacus already has supplied lighting kit to Stanford Park, Antigua; Green Park Stadium, Kanpur, the Oval, Lords and Trent Bridge in the UK.
