Metro Tunnel Melbourne Lighting Control

The Metro Tunnel is the biggest transformation of Melbourne’s rail network in 40 years.

It includes twin tunnels under Melbourne’s CBD with 5 new underground stations, creating more ways to move around Melbourne with new connections and more choice. Major universities and hospitals, as well as destinations like the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne and the Shrine of Remembrance, will all be better connected to the rail network.

With approximately 17,000 luminaires across all sites, there was a need to monitor and provide real-time feedback on system operability and overall system health. The subterranean nature of the project requires consistent and reliable light levels with a high degree of uniformity across the sprawling concourses and platforms.

By implementing a Dynalite DALI solution, the project team individually control all luminaires to tailor each drivers output and achieve lux uniformity across the public areas. This ensures illumination during the station’s opening hours is compliant with strict regulatory measures and allows discreet control of lighting scenes. Paired with the BMS systems integration via OPC, maintenance staff get real-time data on lamp or driver failures.
