New lighting for Tbilisi TV Tower this New Year

Georgia’s capital city Tbilisi will meet the 2016 New Year with a newly illuminated and specially decorated television broadcasting tower.

The tower, that looks down over Tbilisi from the city’s highest point, will be illuminated by Griven, an Italian company recognised as one of the world leading manufacturers in the architectural lighting market.

Griven is the same company that illuminated the Eiffel Tower to mark France’s presidency of the European Union (EU), also the great Pyramid of Giza, the Olympic Stadium of Baku and other international iconic buildings and constructions.

The company won Tbilisi City Hall’s tender for illuminating the Tbilisi TV tower and was given 20 days to complete the work.

Work must be completed by the end of December in order to allow Tbilisi locals and city guests to enjoy the view of the differently illuminated tower on New Year's Eve. 

The company is also obligated to provide a 10-year guarantee of its service.

Meanwhile the work will be done piece-by-piece so that the TV tower will never be completely darkened.
