Bridging light & engineering – silver jubilee bridge!
Studiotech was responsible for implementing the dynamic architectural lighting at the iconic Silver Jubilee Bridge in Runcorn as part of the wider maintenance and regeneration contract between Balvac and Halton Borough Council.
Our comprehensive services included engineering design, electrical design, DMX system design, bespoke fixture mounting bracket design and manufacture, supply, installation as well as control and programming.

Engineering design
Working with our partner network, Studiotech devised a custom solution, utilising the Griven Jupiter RGBW Spotlights for the illumination of the architectural features, supported by a Traxon e:cue control system to create dynamic scenes.
The project required the development of bespoke brackets and clamping mechanisms, designed to meet the unique structural and functional demands of the site. The brackets were designed and manufactured by Studiotech with every detail considered, including powder coating to match the RAL colour of the bridge itself.
Solution
Studiotech played a pivotal role in bringing this project to life, managing every stage of the architectural lighting, from initial engineering design to final installation.
The installation process came with its own challenges. Due to the bridge’s height and complex structure, our engineers underwent specialised abseil training, equipping them with the skills needed to work safely and efficiently at height. This preparation allowed us to carry out the installation professionally while ensuring the highest safety standards.
Experience
The illumination of this iconic structure has not only enhanced its status a striking focal point within the community, but also equipped it with the versatility to adapt
to various occasions, from festive celebrations to awareness campaigns.
This well-loved local landmark has become a defining feature, lending a unique identity to the area and enriching its visual character.
