The final phase of the Rundle Mall redevelopment began last night involving the installation of catenary lighting.
Catenary lighting will provide the visual effect of ‘floating’ lights along Rundle Mall. On a practical level, catenary lighting using structural cables allows a unique ambience without the use of many light poles, masts or intrusive support structures along the Mall.
Adelaide City Council Public Realm Executive Manager, Tom McCready, said Council is keen to let the public know works in preparation for the catenary lighting begins this week.
“The masts are approximately 17 metres in height and will support the lighting at strategic points along Rundle Mall. “This will be followed by the installation of two spires approximately 20 metres in height located at the Eastern and Western ends of the Mall.
These Spires will support banners, flood lighting and provides the anchor points for the catenary netting system,” Tom McCready said.
