Key Outcome:

KE Old Golimar Grid required a specialized industrial trench lighting system to ensure safe maintenance of underground cable trenches and electrical infrastructure.
GreenTech delivered a complete lightning solution that integrates with lighting control automation systems, ensuring energy-efficient lighting and operational reliability in high-risk electrical environments.

Executive Summary

GreenTech completed the installation of industrial trench lighting at KE Old Golimar Grid, significantly improving safety and visibility across underground infrastructure.

Cable trenches in grid stations house critical power transmission cables and electrical connections. Without proper lighting, these areas can become hazardous during maintenance or inspections.

The newly installed trench lighting system enhances operational safety and works alongside other infrastructure protection technologies, such as earthing and lightning protection systems, and advanced fire alarm systems in Pakistan to ensure a secure power transmission environment.

Introduction

KE Old Golimar Grid is a vital component of Karachi’s electricity transmission network. Grid stations operate under continuous electrical loads and require regular inspections of cable trenches and underground utility corridors.

These trenches contain power cables, control wiring, and communication lines that must remain accessible for monitoring and maintenance. However, poor visibility in underground trenches can create safety hazards for technicians.

To address this issue, GreenTech designed and implemented a high-performance industrial trench lighting system at KE Old Golimar Grid, ensuring clear illumination for maintenance teams while maintaining compatibility with sensitive electrical infrastructure.

The lighting infrastructure was also aligned with safety systems such as addressable fire alarm systems and integrated grid protection technologies used in critical power facilities.

Challenge

Installing industrial trench lighting at KE Old Golimar Grid required addressing several technical and operational challenges.

Grid stations operate continuously, which means installation work must be carried out without disrupting power transmission operations.

Key challenges included:

  • Limited accessibility inside underground cable trenches
  • High electrical interference environments
  • Need for durable industrial lighting capable of withstanding heat and dust
  • Ensuring safe installation within a live power infrastructure

Additionally, the lighting system needed to complement safety infrastructure, such as passive fire protection systems that protect cable trenches and electrical compartments.

Solution Implemented

GreenTech designed and installed a specialized industrial lighting solution optimized for underground power infrastructure.

The system focuses on durability, safety, and energy efficiency while ensuring consistent illumination across trench networks.

  • Installation of industrial-grade LED trench lighting across cable corridors
  • Strategic placement of lighting fixtures to eliminate dark zones
  • Integration with facility power distribution networks and electrical DBs
  • Support for automated lighting control through lighting control automation systems
  • Compliance with electrical infrastructure safety standards

The lighting solution also supports safe emergency response coordination with safety systems, like public address systems used in large industrial facilities.

Results

The industrial trench lighting at KE Old Golimar Grid project was completed successfully and significantly improved operational safety within the facility.

  • Improved visibility across underground cable trenches
  • Safer working conditions for maintenance personnel
  • Faster inspection and troubleshooting of the electrical infrastructure
  • Enhanced operational reliability of the grid station

The lighting system now complements the facility’s safety ecosystem, including monitoring technologies such as CCTV camera installation used for infrastructure security.
