Musco Lighting recently installed floodlighting for 10 World Cup training base camps in South Africa. In just 57 days, Musco manufactured, shipped, and installed the floodlighting systems for the pitches, including over 450 fixtures in total. Twelve ocean cargo containers were needed to transport the floodlighting equipment to South Africa.
For each project, Musco’s team of professionals works to meet unique needs by providing turn-key results including project management solutions, electrical design and installation, and onsite resources. For the World Cup training pitches, the geographically varied locations required establishing several different jobsites and presented a range of soil conditions for installation. At the Northlands, beach sand required the foundations to be dug by hand. At Laudium, the team encountered solid rock. Access to each site was also challenging, since turf contracts were awarded ahead of floodlighting, and the team had to work around the newly built grass playing pitches.

Several pitches had old floodlights that needed to be taken down before the new floodlights could be installed. Two pitches have temporary installations that will be removed after the World Cup. Four pitches require three of the columns to be moved after the World Cup. Musco was able to install suitable temporary floodlighting and will move columns post-tournament without difficulty.
World class athletes will practice at these pitches in preparation for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, which will take place 11 June – 11 July of this year.
