Sneak Peek of Campanile lights 

11 May 2017 By Alan Straton

On 21 April MyPE announced a World First as Port Elizabeth’s Campanile Bells played Nkosi Sikelel’ iAfrika.

And the world class work continues apace as we bring you a sneak peek of what the Campanile will look like when it is lit up at night.

Contact Building Automation Services in Port Elizabeth to find out the possibilities for your building.

When the work on the Campanile is complete the building will be lit up on two sides as depicted in the 9 May trial run by Building Automation Services above.

An increasing number of clients – Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, Coega IDZ Offices, 10111 Centre, 2nd Avenue Business School, Product Testing Institute, Transnet, Marine Park Centre, Walmer Wellness Centre and some prominent PE Citizens – have entrusted BA Systems to automate their buildings.

The work that has been done to the historic Campanile in Strand Street, Port Elizabeth is absolutely world class. On 21 April 2017 www.MyPE.co.za got to experience one of the ‘surprises’ of the work done on the bells and keyboard.

Two additional bells have been added to the clarion to make a full 25 notes – middle C and 12 either side.

Passionate about Port Elizabeth and definitely NOT packing for Perth. Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." See more articles by Alan.
