For big events like the World Cup which will be held in Qatar, power supply needs to be dependable and efficient to avoid outages or hitches during the matches. To power such an event, Tesar will supply over 180 cast resin transformers which will be situated at the different stadiums in Qatar. The transformers are conformed to customer needs, climatic conditions, sustainable and low energy solutions and safety and compliant design. The transformers will be in consent with the green thinking concept.
With the first ever open air cooling system, the Khalifa stadium in Qatar will use up a lot of energy and will require effective power supply. This will help to keep the temperatures at a friendly level and will use less energy consumption compared to other cooling methods.
Electric pole components also known as utility pole components are the devices used on a utility pole to support overhead power lines, electrical cables, street light, fiber optic cables and transformers. The various components used on an electrical pole include guy grip, pigtail bolt, stay rod, street light arm, suspension clamp, secondary clevis and pole band.

Trends Influencing Stadium Design
Stadiums are progressively developing, with architects and facilities managers redesigning and defining functionality criterion. The biggest influencers of these changes are technology and commercial generation. They use power units that provide a safe and secure outdoor source of power, water and data. Electricity is needed to power equipment such as LED floodlighting, digital information displays, UV lighting rigs or sprinkler systems.
In the late centuries, stadiums delivered their particular purpose for one particular event. An athletic stadium was for athletics and a football stadium was for football matches. Over the years these has changed and a significant shift in design for sports stadiums and arenas has changed. Stadiums have shifted from single purpose stadiums to multi-purpose stadiums to support a more divergent event. The safety and comfort of the spectators has also shifted drastically with the use of the latest technology.
The use of electric pole component is essential in this case as it helps to maintain current on the lines, protect the overhead devices and to prevent electrocution of the people around the light poles.
Safe Power Supply
Stadiums are obliged to strict rules and regulations in their design and operation. The safety precautions include the floodlight must be supported by secondary power sources and the different electrical equipment around pitches, running tracks or other sporting areas has to reduce any potential hazards such as trip or electrocution.
The range of removable service units developed is able to provide a safe and secure power source for different equipment around the stadium. The entities can be installed around sports pitches or running tracks and when they are not needed they can be easily lowered back into the ground, merging seamlessly with their surroundings. The most common electric pole components used in light poles include the street light arms, suspension clamp, pigtail bolt and pole bands.
Power Considerations for Multi-purpose Stadium Design
This is where stadiums combine events as well as entertainment events. Designing such stadiums can often time put pressure and stress on the practical maintenance of the stadium. Pop up power units help to relieve such pressures as they are able to provide a reliable source of power and water in order to effectively maintain the pitch.
The pop up power units also help to provide an original power solution for stadiums when they host different entertainment events. They also provide a safe power solution for such equipment also having a significant benefit in terms of safety. The risk of electrocution is reduced which ensures that public areas are safe and comfortable to use. The electric pole components also known as utility pole components are essential in maintaining current in top of the poles which helps reduce faulty currents.
Multi-purpose stadium facilities should have the ability to provide a fitting area for food services such as food stalls and kiosks to provide revenue for the stadium. These also need stable electricity supply to power the cooking equipment. The pop up power units are perfect as they can be set up when the need arises and then lowered back to the ground when no longer in use.
