Construction Site in the Suburbs of Kyiv, Ukraine: KINGWAY Portable Lighting Towers Double Construction Efficiency

At a large residential complex construction site in the suburbs of Kyiv, Ukraine, the short days and frequent rainy weather during the autumn and winter seasons posed significant challenges to the construction team. As the project schedule tightened, nighttime construction became crucial to ensuring progress. However, the numerous drawbacks of traditional lighting equipment—limited coverage, insufficient battery life, susceptibility to malfunction in low temperatures, and inconvenience in movement—led to low efficiency at night, and even repeated installation errors caused by blind spots, severely impacting project quality and progress. This predicament was completely resolved after purchasing KINGWAY portable lighting towers, doubling construction efficiency and allowing the project to proceed smoothly.

Traditional Lighting Challenges: A Stumbling Block to Nighttime Construction

The construction site covers an area of ​​120,000 square meters and involves the simultaneous construction of 10 residential buildings, encompassing multiple construction stages including foundation excavation, rebar tying, concrete pouring, and exterior wall finishing. Before the introduction of KINGWAY mobile lighting towers, the construction site used locally sourced conventional fuel-fired lighting equipment. Each unit only covered an area of ​​about 200 square meters and required refueling every 3 hours. To cover the entire construction area, 15 units needed to be deployed simultaneously, consuming a significant amount of manpower for monitoring, refueling, and relocation, and posing a safety hazard of fuel leaks.

Even more challenging was the frigid weather of Ukraine's autumn and winter seasons, with nighttime temperatures often dropping below -15°C. The traditional lighting equipment's engines frequently experienced starting failures, requiring an average of 1-2 hours of equipment repair and adjustment each night. “At the most difficult time, our construction teams could only complete 30% of the daytime workload at night, and the error rate in rebar tying exceeded 5%, forcing us to rework during the day, creating a vicious cycle,” recalled project manager Andrei Petrov. “We urgently needed a lighting solution that could withstand low temperatures, had long battery life, wide coverage, and was highly mobile.”

Precisely Adapting to Needs: The Implementation of KINGWAY's Customized Lighting Solution

Through on-site inspections and performance comparisons of multiple European power supply brands, the project team ultimately chose KINGWAY's mobile lighting beacons. As a power supply solution provider serving more than 150 countries worldwide, KINGWAY's technological accumulation and practical experience in the field of industrial-grade mobile lighting were particularly valued by the construction team. In the initial communication phase, KINGWAY's technical team provided a customized optimization solution based on the specific needs of the Ukrainian construction site.

Considering the low-temperature environment of construction sites, KINGWAY upgraded the engine of its lighthouses to be more cold-resistant, equipping them with a low-temperature start-up system and antifreeze fuel tanks to ensure one-button start and stable operation even in extreme temperatures as low as -20°C. Addressing the needs of large-scale construction sites, the optical design of the lighting system was optimized, expanding the lighting coverage of a single lighthouse to 800 square meters with an illuminance uniformity exceeding 100 lux, fully meeting the lighting requirements of high-precision construction such as rebar tying and concrete pouring. Simultaneously, a dual-power mode of solar and diesel is adopted, allowing charging via solar panels during sunny days and prioritizing clean energy at night, extending the runtime to 12 hours and eliminating the need for frequent refueling, thus reducing operating costs and environmental emissions.

Leveraging KINGWAY's 40,000-square-meter production base and annual production capacity of 8,000 units, customized orders were delivered from confirmation of requirements to production in just 35 days, far shorter than the industry average of 45 days, effectively alleviating construction pressure on sites. “KINGWAY’s response speed exceeded our expectations. Their technical team was online throughout the process to answer our questions and even provided remote guidance on equipment debugging, demonstrating their professional service attitude,” said Andrei Petrov.

Efficiency Doubling Demonstration: Data Witnesses Construction Transformation

Since the deployment of five KINGWAY mobile lighting towers, the construction site has experienced a qualitative leap in nighttime construction efficiency. The 800-square-meter coverage area of ​​a single tower means that an area that previously required 15 traditional devices now only needs 5 to achieve comprehensive lighting, reducing the number of devices deployed by 67% and saving significant space and labor costs.

Stable operation in low-temperature environments has completely solved the equipment failure problem. The nightly equipment failure rate has dropped from 40% to 0, eliminating the need for construction teams to spend time on equipment maintenance. Effective nighttime construction time has increased from 3 hours to 8 hours. Meanwhile, uniform and ample lighting significantly improved construction precision, reducing the rebar tying error rate to below 0.5%, and increasing the concrete pouring flatness compliance rate from 85% to 99%, with rework rate virtually zero.

“Now our night shift teams can complete 80% of the daytime workload, increasing the overall project efficiency by 100%. The foundation work, originally planned to be completed before winter, was finished 20 days ahead of schedule, saving valuable time for the subsequent main structure construction,” Andrei Petrov excitedly shared. “Even more surprisingly, the dual-power mode reduced our monthly fuel consumption by 600 liters, and combined with the reduced equipment failure rate leading to lower maintenance costs, we save nearly €2,000 per month on lighting alone.”

Furthermore, the convenient mobility of the KINGWAY mobile lighting towers greatly facilitates site relocation. Equipped with heavy-duty casters and a towing device, the lighthouse can be easily moved and positioned by two workers, adapting to different construction stages such as foundation work, main structure work, and finishing, further improving equipment utilization.

Global Service Guarantee: Worry-Free Overseas Construction

In addition to the product's superior performance, KINGWAY's after-sales service also gives construction teams peace of mind. According to KINGWAY's warranty policy, the mobile lighting lighthouse enjoys a one-year or 1000-hour warranty (excluding damage caused by human error), covering the repair and replacement of core components. For the special circumstances of the construction site in Ukraine, KINGWAY has also established an emergency repair response mechanism in conjunction with local partners, promising on-site repair service within 48 hours to ensure the continuous and stable operation of the equipment.

“Choosing KINGWAY is not only choosing a high-quality product, but also choosing reliable assurance,” said Andrei Petrov. “In the subsequent second phase project, we will continue to purchase KINGWAY's mobile lighting lighthouses, and will also recommend this efficient and durable equipment to other construction sites in the surrounding area.”
