Project Details
Sports Lighting Upgrade at Burleigh Bears Rugby League Club
GAP Industries delivered a complete field lighting system at Burleigh Bears Rugby League Club.
The project began with an electrical and operational assessment of the existing lighting system. The infrastructure had reached the end of its useful life, so the works focused on replacing outdated assets with a full lighting and electrical upgrade suited to night time rugby league.
The completed installation gives the club clearer field visibility, more consistent lighting coverage and safer conditions for evening training and competitive games.
