Requirements of illumination scheme of shipyard:
1) The shipyard lighting always depends upon the surrounding conditions. e.g. wind pressure, rain fall, location of shipyard from the sea-share etc.
2) The shipyard lighting always depends upon the type & capacity of alternator which is held in ship for interior applications and the capacity of alternator which is installed in the ship-yard and any other non-conventional sources installed in that particulars area for all outdoor application.
3) In the every shipyard there may be limitation on the conventional sources. To over-come these limitations, sometimes non-conventional sources, e.g. solar, tidal etc are to be used. At the time of illumination design we have to consider this factor.
4) We have to consider control room, emergency–control, emergency medical centre, loading and unloading areas etc. in the ship-yard for its standard lux level.
5) In every ship-yard, the electrical & mechanical safety is the prime-moto. At the time of illumination design, the all safety precautions are to be taken.
6) The life of the shipyard lighting should be always more.
7) The cost of the ship-yard lighting should be always economical.
8) The every ship-yard station should be free from any type of pollution, e.g. water pollution, sound pollution or noise pollution to the commercial communication signals.
9) At the time of ship-yard lighting for the outdoor applications, we have consider total area of water, which is covered by the illumination.
10) The ship-yard lighting is always at the remote place slightly away from the seashore, so the ship-yard lighting wiring should be easy for replacement.
11) The maintenance and the repairing of the shipyard lighting system should be simple & less. The ship-yard lighting should allow the navigation signals and lights to control the various ships.
12) In ship-yard lighting the various lamp are used to get the proper lux level and for energy saving purpose. Some of the lamps are forge, Bollards, foot lamps, solar grass lamps, LED-Solar energy lawn lamps, various focus lamps, metal halide lamps etc.
