The Royal Albert Hall: Lighting upgrade FM Conway has carried out an LED upgrade of the lighting columns surrounding the steps of the Royal Albert Hall. The upgrade included increasing the stability of the columns for the next 50 years, as well as upgrading to an LED lighting source, yet ensuring the area still features Westminster’s heritage look and feel. The project required removing 18 of the original old cast columns, centre posts and lanterns around the steps’ parapets and installing new steel supporting posts. The team then reinstalled the old columns, before rewiring and installing new LED “gas style lanterns”.

Working with heritage assets requires a meticulous approach and the team were particularly cautious and methodical when drilling the steel posts on the old staircase. They lowered the speed setting to minimise the vibrations and then used resin anchors to hold the posts in place. The project was successfully delivered on time and to budget and has provided the Royal Albert Hall with upgraded sustainable LED lanterns, whilst still preserving the area’s traditional look and feel.
