OUR EVENT ENERGY SOLUTIONS
-
Installation of an electro-hydrogen generator
For the first time, GL events used a 100% hydrogen generator to power the Radar stage (outside the stadium) and the surrounding refreshment stands. Our 100 kVA electro-hydrogen generator consumed an average of 15 kW with a peak of 40 kW during the event.
-
Design and realization of the electrical distribution of the site
GL events provided the electrical distribution for the event space, including 400 m2 of bars and 300 m2 of reception area (wristband distribution, locker rooms, prevention, first aid station, screening, etc.).
Two 250 kVA oil-fired generators were needed to power the InVillage to the north of the stadium and the Tour Bus (parking area for artists' buses).
-
Design and realization of the lighting of the site
A total of 253 LED projectors were installed to light up the different areas, including 120 white 50W LED projectors for service lighting and 120 RGB LED projectors for decorative lighting.
Decorative lighting:
Service lighting:
The RGB LED technology allowed us to respond quickly to the client's expectations. Indeed, a few days before the beginning of the festival, the organizer wished to choose the color of the whole decoration lighting by opting for red. Our teams were able to quickly respond to this request by modifying the settings of the projectors.
This project required the presence of 14 technicians for the installation during 1 week and 2 technicians per day throughout the event to ensure the proper functioning of the electrical equipment.
