Vandal Resistant Tunnel Lighting

The Oslofjord Tunnel (Copy)

Smart LED lighting upgrade in the Oslofjord Tunnel improved visibility, cut energy use by 55%, and boosted safety for thousands of daily drivers.
Client: Norwegian Public Roads Administration
Sector: Road & Transport Infrastructure
Fittings Used: Squadron Square

Overview:
To improve safety and energy efficiency, the ageing lighting system inside the 7.2 km Oslofjord Tunnel was replaced with a state-of-the-art LED lighting solution. The brief required minimising maintenance downtime while ensuring uniform illumination levels to aid driver visibility and reduce fatigue.

Our Approach:

  • Designed a fully dimmable LED system that adapts to traffic flow and daylight at tunnel portals.

  • Installed anti-corrosive luminaires capable of withstanding high humidity and exhaust pollutants.

  • Integrated a centralised control system for real-time monitoring and fault detection.

  • Coordinated installation in night-time phases to avoid major traffic disruption.

Outcome:
The new system reduced energy consumption by 55%, cut maintenance costs by half, and significantly enhanced driver comfort and tunnel safety. The project was delivered on schedule and fully compliant with European tunnel lighting standards.
