We enjoyed the Formula E Tokyo E-Prix at night, butthe workDZ Asiaput intothe lighting system is hard to imagine.
The Tokyo experience once againconfirms DZ Engineering’s ability to manage complex projects in extremely dynamic urban contexts, adapting quickly to unexpected eventswithout compromising quality, safety, and service continuity.
Almost two weeks after the end of Race 2 in Tokyo,we spoke with Marco Scaioli, Director of DZ Asia, to understandhow the dismantling of all the systems is progressing.
We provide his answers to our questions,to give you an idea of how much work needs to be done after the lights go out for Race 2 and the number of peopleworking in the various sectors.
Marcelo Padin: When did you finish dismantling all the material used in the Tokyo E-Prix?
Marco Scaioli:Dismantling is still underway and we expect to complete it by the end of August. In total, approximately two weeks of work are planned to dismantle all the infrastructure and systems installed for the event.
MP: How many people worked on the dismantling phase?
MS:Approximately 50 people are involved in the operations. The teams rotate 24-hour shifts, six days a week, to ensure continuity and meet the scheduled deadlines.
MP: It’s usually easier to dismantle than to assemble… but was that really the case in this case?
MS:In general, dismantling is less complex than assembly because the operating pressure is lower and there’s no competition start deadline. However, in Japan, we had to change work areas several times, constantly reorganizing activities. This required considerable flexibility and great team coordination.
MP: Were there any problems with storms, earthquakes, etc.?
MS:During the installation phase, we endured five small earthquakes and two typhoons. Subsequently, during race week, two severe thunderstorms necessitated the evacuation of personnel on two occasions. Despite this, our structural and electrical systems demonstrated great reliability, continuing to function without causing any operational issues.
MP: Where is the material used in Tokyo being sent, and what will its future use be?
MS:Once dismantling is complete, the material will be shipped to our Asian headquarters in Singapore. A significant portion will be prepared and reused for the next Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix, confirming the versatility and sustainability of our solutions.
