Case Study || DONE Power Lights Up Ningbo's Longest City Tunnel to Build a Safe and Bright Traffic Environment

DONE Power recently took on the challenging lighting renovation project for the Huangshan Road Pingfengling Tunnel, the longest urban tunnel in Ningbo. The two-way, six-lane split tunnel in Beilun District has an extremely complex design and construction, requiring an adequate lighting solution to meet the needs of travelers. The DONE Power team was tasked with providing a dependable drive power lighting solution for this challenging project.

DONE Power carefully planned the project to provide a reliable drive power LED lighting solution to effectively enhance the usability of the tunnel.

Project Overview and Challenges

The Pingfengling Tunnel on Huangshan Road is a two-way, six-lane split tunnel between Tongtu Road and Xin'anjiang Road in Beilun District. Ningbo Huangshan Road is a widely used path by locals and tourists as it connects several key regional areas. Daily, hundreds of people use the tunnel to reach their destinations which is why a reliable lighting system was needed to illuminate the tunnel for safe driving.

However, the design and building conditions of the tunnel presented significant complexity. The tunnel's complexity stems from its unique features, which include going down through a hilltop quarry between Tongtu Road and Xinanjiang Road. The project was particularly difficult because the tunnel's design required it to cross the lengthy Yongzhou Railway tunnel and a hilltop quarry. The complexity was further increased by elements like the height of the mountain overburden, the requirement to cross a railway and the length of the tunnel.

Given these challenges, a thorough and innovative approach was necessary for the lighting renovation project to be successful.
