 1. Introduction
1.1 Background
The Lubhuku workshop is situated near Mpaka and has recently been acquired by Quality
Engineering. The site used to be a treated timber warehouse which is now being renovated to
function fully as a decentralized workshop for quality.

1.2Aim
The purpose of this project is to make the Lubhuku site a functional workshop for staff
members in various departments to fulfil tasks such as drilling, grinding and machining.
Further, the aim is to make the workshop energy self-sufficient in the near future. Solar power
generation is the primary option being considered, with trade-offs in cost and maintenance.

2. Methodology
2.1 Lighting system
The lighting system has the following requirements:
 8 single filament lights
 8 LED lights (fabrication shop)
 1 double fluorescent tube (storage)

2.2 Measurements

19.8m

8.0m
