Project Overview
A landmark collaboration with Kuwaiti contractors to illuminate Kuwait University with 451 custom light poles across three distinct designs:
– 91 pcs 6m aluminum straight conical poles
– 299 pcs 12m aluminum large-curved arm poles (13.57m arc length)
– 61 pcs 16m classical double-arm steel poles
Engineering Innovations
1. Structural Optimization for Cost Efficiency
– Challenge: Original drawings required performance and production compromises
– Solution:
– Redesigned joints and load points using FEA modeling
– Achieved 15% material savings without sacrificing wind resistance
– Reduced assembly time by 20% through modular components
2. Detachable Flag Arm System
– Special Feature: All 451 poles integrate custom flag mounts for advertising banners
– 3 unique mold sets developed for different pole diameters
– CNC-machined clamps with welded tie-loops for secure flag attachment
– Seamless visual integration – no visible bolts or external hardware
3. Curved Arm Production Breakthrough
– Technical Milestone:
– Created 13.57m continuous arc (longest in our production history)
– Custom stretch-bending mold reduced processing time to 2 minutes/pole
– Aesthetic Refinement:
– Original design produced awkward transitions → Engineers extended arc radius
– Final version achieved fluid, natural curvature praised by the client
Quality Assurance
Wind load tested to 150km/h (Kuwaiti sandstorm conditions)
Salt spray tested for 2000+ hours (coastal corrosion resistance) Modular pre-assembly ensured on-site installation efficiency
Client Impact
“Your team transformed our conceptual drawings into structures that exceed both engineering and aesthetic expectations. The flag system integration is particularly ingenious.”
