Stogger installation in Africa
DHL Stadium is one of Cape Town’s major event venues, hosting some of the city’s largest sporting and entertainment events. Maintaining a high-quality playing surface is therefore an important part of the stadium’s day-to-day operation.
In search of the latest grow lighting technology to support the pitch and its grounds team, DHL Stadium went through a tender process to find a solution that met its requirements.
As part of this process, representatives from DHL Stadium travelled to the Netherlands to visit Stogger’s production facility. The visit provided an opportunity to see the technology first-hand, learn more about the systems and discuss how the solution could be applied at the stadium.
Following the evaluation process and factory visit, Stogger Turf Care was selected to supply the new grow lighting systems for DHL Stadium. From that point, the project moved from selecting the right technology to implementing the solution on site in Cape Town.
For DHL Stadium, the investment was centred around giving the grounds team the technology and tools needed to consistently prepare a high-quality playing surface. With the stadium hosting major sporting and entertainment events, the grow lighting systems needed to become a practical part of the team’s ongoing pitch management.
Once the systems arrived in Cape Town, each unit underwent a Site Acceptance Test (SAT). The systems were inspected and tested following transport to ensure they were functioning correctly before being handed over to the grounds team and put into operation on the pitch.
The completed installation consists of four Booster Carbon 460 systems, providing large-scale LED grow lighting that can be deployed across the playing surface as part of the stadium’s day-to-day turf management.
Each Booster Carbon 460 provides 460 m² of coverage, allowing the grounds team to bring additional light directly to areas where it is needed. The mobile design also allows the systems to be repositioned across the pitch according to changing turf requirements.
With commissioning completed, DHL Stadium now has a grow lighting solution designed to support its grounds team in maintaining and preparing the playing surface throughout the season.
The project also marks an important milestone for Stogger Turf Care: our first installation on the African continent. From the initial tender and factory visit in the Netherlands to delivery and commissioning in Cape Town, the project demonstrates how customer requirements can be translated into a practical grow lighting solution on the pitch.
