Valmont Structures Project Gallery

The new adventure promenade is one of St. Peter-Ording's most popular attractions and offers visitors an impressive nature experience space for young and old. The promenade is illuminated with Olivio spotlights from Selux, which were mounted on the very natural-looking and sustainable wooden poles from Tehomet a Valmont Company, which also integrate WIFI routers and antennas. The natural wooden poles characterize a resource-saving and extremely attractive overall appearance of the promenade.

Everything about the Hull City of Culture project was custom. The lighting structures, color, bracketry, and finishing designed by Arup were brought to life by our local team to ensure endless design possibilities. Once deemed “the UK’s worst place to live in 2005”, Hull is now thriving with a 15% increase in tourism after the city-wide regeneration project.

As part of the City of Culture program, Hull underwent an extreme transformation which “turbo-charged the local economy and challenged the worst images of the city”. Previously, we had designed a project in a neighboring part of the city. Hull wanted this next project to remain consistent while also creating a unique design to compliment the new, state-of-the-art Bonus Arena. Valmont has been the manufacturer of choice when it comes to street and area lighting throughout the city because of our custom engineering and design capabilities. We went with a “family member” approach for design; choosing to complement our sister project while still creating a unique design for the area.

Valmont developed 9 custom structures to meet the aesthetical brief for the project as well as custom color finishing and matching to complement the surrounding architecture. We used seamless weld technology (SWT) to incorporate a sleek design surrounding to stand out against the new arena. Custom bracketry and finishing were used to enable maximum adjustability for the lighting requirements of the current lighting artist. Finally, bespoke modular bracket systems (Cubes) and Light Tubes for bespoke lighting allowed for even more customization.

Pier Approach Revitalized...
For this popular seaside attraction, Valmont crafted sleek, bespoke wood lighting columns and high masts. The columns were specially designed to support multiple light fittings at varying heights. A modern network displays interactive lighting to the delight of visitors.

Valmont Idyline and Sillem Signature Poles
The curved beauty of Idyline Signature poles grace the driveway and new sports complex at University of Derby. Also, the organic lines of Sillem Signature poles complement the scenic memorial pond. A distinctive capstone to these lighting columns is an illuminated finial.

The columns are installed at varying angles to complement the unique geography of the site. Along the scenic E6 highway north of Oslo, lighting columns with integrated LED panels are installed at key rest areas to complement the unique geography of the site.  

Bespoke Steel Structures
Overlooking Regent’s Canal, this public square plays host to festivals and concerts. Attractive area lighting columns feature a galvanized-steel, ladder-bar structure, paying homage to the nearby railway tracks. The rail-tie design is a functional and aesthetic innovation, enhancing loading capabilities.

Custom Curved Structures:
Shooting to put the fun in functional lighting, one of the curved area-lighting columns at this installation also serves as a basketball hoop support for outdoor recreation. The bespoke Valmont Corten model curved structure is designed to support multiple light fixtures across the arc.

Illumination Innovation...
These 28m bespoke high-masts at Hamad International Airport in Doha, Qatar, provide a visual oasis. The Valmont-crafted masts are internally illuminated and feature an intricate laser-profiled exterior cladding. The light fixtures can be raised and lowered via electronic control for maintenance.

City of Culture...
Large scale seamless conical columns and custom modular cuboid brackets incorporating state of the art lighting products and controls to create a landmark installation. The Arup driven design focusses on the flexibility of the solution to support exacting artist lead lighting requirement for the building facade, while maintaining appropriate area lighting for the public square. The resulting solution delivered a sleek and slender form that supports, yet doesn’t compete with, the urban context of the 2017 UK City of Culture.

Mixity Installation
To complement the modern architecture and natural beauty found at Scotland’s Inverness College, custom outdoor lighting structures were specially crafted. Both wood and aluminium decorative columns were installed. This mix of materials, whether integrated into a single column or a single location, is a process Valmont refers to as Mixity.

Beauty by the sea...

These custom-made columns borrow their design language from the marshland grass that surrounds the city. A combination of curved columns and brackets were used to create a sense of movement whilst maintaining a consistent light point height. The result is an installation that seems to be blowing in the wind, much like the grass on the marsh.

This project uses lighting columns of two different heights to make a visual connection to the installation site. The curved mast and brackets of the smaller masts have been selected to echo the waves of the sea and to break the linear rigidity of the docks. The taller masts symbolize the spears of the traditional Palavasian jousts which are part of the local identity.

Location: Ville de Vichy, France
Challenge: Create an outdoor space that is practical and inviting, while utilizing smart and sustainable materials.
Actions: Valmont Structures consulted with the Project Lead and Architect to craft beautiful customized lighting structures.

Vichy is a popular spa and resort town in central France. The main challenge of this project was to upgrade Rue Clemenceau with new personalized lighting fixtures combining lighting and sound systems. Listening to the customer's needs, coupled with our knowledge of the city's cultural identity, has enabled Valmont to respond to the needs of the customer with a personalized, smart design incorporating decorative cut-outs. We improved this area within Vichy by making it more beautiful, while the head modules of each pole help to brighten areas and provide better safety. Bright in design. Brilliant in function. These sculptural columns from Valmont Structures are light poles – enhanced and reimagined – customizable to match the aesthetics of wherever they are installed. The internal beacon illuminates streets at night while making a statement during the day. Jalousie uses a customizable base with carefully designed aluminum. Each laser cutout allows for the internal lighting to shine through brilliantly.
