Overview

The brief: three perfect parallel runs, each 27 metres long.

Hilton Haridwar needed banquet lighting that would read as one continuous visual element — not a sequence of pendants assembled to look long. Three runs, set in parallel, with dimensional and electrical continuity across the span.

For hospitality at this scale, the hard problem isn't the fixture design. It's the joinery, alignment, and load management across a 27-metre run — and the ability to sequence three of them identically.

The challenge

Four problems buried inside one fixture.

Any 27-metre run is a structural question before it's a lighting question. Deflection, thermal expansion, joinery tolerance, electrical continuity — each compounds at scale.

At Hilton Haridwar, we were solving four problems simultaneously: segment joinery that stayed invisible from below, electrical continuity with no visible break, identical alignment across three parallel runs, and a hanging protocol that could be installed inside the building's critical-path window.

How it was handled

Three weeks of validation. Six weeks of production. Four days on site.

01

Shop drawing & mockup

Week 1–3

A full-scale 3-metre section was built in the factory and lit exactly as it would be at Hilton. Joinery tolerance and electrical continuity were validated before any bulk production started.

02

Sequenced production

Week 4–10

Segments were produced in paired batches across our metal factory, ensuring finish and alignment consistency across all three runs. Every segment was matched, labelled and photographed before dispatch.

03

Factory test & pre-install rehearsal

Week 11

All three runs were assembled and illuminated on the factory floor before dispatch. The install sequence was rehearsed in full, then disassembled for controlled shipping.

04

On-site hanging & commissioning

Week 12 · 4 days

Install carried out in a four-day window around the hotel's MEP schedule. Dimming was commissioned with Hilton's F&B operations team present. Handover the same week.

"A 27-metre run looks impossible from below. The work happens in shop drawing, segment control, and the four days on site. The hall doesn't remember any of that — only whether it lit correctly on opening night."

Project details

The scope & the particulars.

Scope of work

Design intent translated to shop drawings, production, QC and on-site install. Complete execution ownership — mockup to handover.

Materials & finishes

Hand-patinated brass components, hand-blown glass from our Firozabad facility, premium driver electronics, dimmable and tunable options.

Engineering approach

MEP-coordinated shop drawings, dimming protocol verified pre-production, assembled-and-lit QC at factory, trained install team on site.

Collaboration

Worked with the brand design team, owner's rep and project management consultant. Weekly status cadence, same-day issue escalation.
