Project Description
Chelmsford City Racecourse, is a thoroughbred horse racing venue located near Chelmsford, Essex, England. Great Leighs Racecourse have been allocated 58 fixtures in 2015 and hope to increase this figure in future years. Great Leighs Racecourse aim to become the UK’s and Europe’s best all weather horse racing venue and provide high quality entertainment and service to all our customers.
The £40m development of the first new racecourse in Britain in over 80 years includes extensive facilities such as an all-weather polytrack and new grandstand.
The lighting system provided by Musco was designed to achieve professional light levels that meet television broadcast standards while remaining energy conscious by controlling offsite spill and glare. Track owners also selected Multi-Watt™ technology with the system, which allows additional reductions in energy consumption by using lower light levels between races. Unique champagne-glass-shaped columns were designed to satisfy owners’ vision without sacrificing the quality of light.
