Success Story: Voltec Services’ Sports Field Lighting Upgrade For Curra Swans AFL

If you belong to a sports background, you must know the importance of having a well-lit field, which is crucial for both player performance and spectator experience. The Curra Swans AFL Grounds required an upgrade to their existing lighting system to meet modern standards. With an AFL grant and a dedicated team of contractors, We at Voltec Services were honoured to work as the head contractor for them to execute the project.  

This case study highlights our journey, the challenges faced, and the outstanding results delivered. 

Project Scope and Objectives 

When we received the project, the primary objective was to upgrade the sports field lighting to 150 lux, ensuring optimal visibility for both training and competitive matches. Key deliverables included: 

• Installation of high-quality sports field lighting compliant with AFL standards. 

• Ensuring even light distribution for enhanced visibility and player safety. 

• Executing the project within a strict timeline and budget constraints. 

• Overcoming environmental challenges such as adverse weather conditions. 

Challenges Faced 

Every project presents unique challenges, and the Curra Swans AFL Grounds upgrade was no exception. Some of the key obstacles included: 

1. Unpredictable Weather Conditions

North Queensland's climate can be unpredictable, and heavy rainfall posed a significant challenge during the project. Despite adverse weather conditions, our team remained adaptable, adjusting schedules and deploying resources efficiently to keep the project on track. 

2. Tight Deadlines

The project had to be completed within a strict timeframe to ensure minimal disruption to the AFL club's activities. Our Electricians, Townsville, QLD ensure meticulous planning and efficient execution ensured that we met all deadlines without compromising on quality.
