Jebel Hafeet Lighting Project
Illuminating the iconic Jebel Hafeet mountain road with state-of-the-art lighting infrastructure, enhancing safety and showcasing the natural beauty of this UAE landmark.
Illuminating Jebel Hafeet
In 1991, ACECO undertook the ambitious project of installing comprehensive lighting infrastructure along the winding road of Jebel Hafeet mountain, one of the UAE's most iconic natural landmarks. This challenging project required innovative engineering solutions to navigate the mountain's steep terrain and harsh environmental conditions.
The project involved the installation of over 400 lighting poles, underground cabling systems, and specialized fixtures designed to withstand the extreme temperature variations and high winds common at higher elevations. Our team worked diligently to ensure minimal environmental impact while maximizing visibility and safety for drivers navigating the mountain road.
