- 340 white poles release water vapor from the drainage system which enhances the ever-changing night-time lighting sequences
- The Pharos LPC 10 and TPC control system provides a variety of lighting scenes played in-sync with the fog effects, along with a Pharos RIO 80 for integration
- These control time of day triggering and interface with a real-time weather station. Lighting and fog effects are then adjusted based on wind speed, foggy conditions, or freezing temperatures to ensure operational and traffic safety.
- Programming with Pharos Designer has allowed them to create a trigger so that each hour the system goes into a 10-minute show with a colour chase and mist.
