AUSTIN,
Texas, April 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Hellas
Construction is proud to announce its expansion into the
Caribbean bringing lighting
solutions to cricket venues in preparation for the upcoming ICC
Men's T20 World Cup.
"These projects mark a significant

Partnering with Abacus Lighting Ltd and M3 Innovation, Hellas
Construction embarks on two transformative projects aimed at
enhancing the spectator experience and advancing energy efficiency
standards in sports infrastructure.
At Kensington Oval Cricket Club in Barbados, Hellas Construction will oversee the
installation of state-of-the-art LED lighting, encompassing the
demolition of existing structures, excavation of new bases, and
erection of 200-foot poles equipped with 438 MAKO
LED luminaires. Simultaneously, Hellas Construction is
spearheading the lighting upgrade at Arnos Vale Cricket Pitch in
Saint Vincent, collaborating closely
with local authorities and cricket boards to elevate the venue's
capabilities for international tournaments.
Led by Wayne Huntsinger, Vice
President of Sports Lighting, the division is poised to
revolutionize sports facilities' lighting capabilities, ensuring
optimal visibility and performance for athletes and spectators
alike. Huntsinger expressed excitement about the venture, stating,
"We are thrilled to be part of building quality sports facilities
under the Hellas brand. Proper lighting adds to the utility of a
field by allowing customers to access their fields any time of
day."
"These projects mark a significant milestone for Hellas
Construction as we extend our reach into the Caribbean region," said Reed J Seaton, CEO and
President at Hellas Construction. "We are honored to partner with
esteemed organizations like Abacus and M3 Innovation to deliver
advanced lighting solutions that not only enhance the venue
experience but also contribute to sustainability efforts."
For the first time in nine World Cups, cricket will be played in
parts of the United States at the
T20 Men's World Cup. The West Indies and the United States are co-hosting this biennial
event from June 1-29, 2024. England
will try to defend their title as World Cup champions after
defeating Pakistan in the final of
the previous edition. Canada and
Uganda qualified for the Men's T20
World Cup for the first time and the
United States is also participating for the first time by
virtue of being a co-host with the West Indies.
Hellas installed the Mako Sports Lights by M3 Innovation, which
are directed towards the pitch with little or no light pollution
and have seamless integration of color (RGB) fixtures into the
installation. Hellas and M3 Innovation recently partnered on
several lighting projects beginning in late 2023. Hellas also
recently partnered with Abacus Lighting Ltd, who have been lighting
