The Vancouver Winter Olympics: Rexel participates in a number of infrastructure projects


Vancouver 2010Rexel, world leader in the distribution of electrical equipment, has, over the last few years, been involved in the construction of many of the infrastructures for the Vancouver Winter Olympic Games, which will open in a few days’ time.

Working alongside the Vanoc (Vancouver Olympic Committee) and numerous engineering firms, Rexel Canada advised and supplied a great number of well-suited electrical equipment for the many projects* undertaken for the occasion: Olympic village, sporting facilities, Convention Centre, airport, water treatment, etc.

One of the most high profile examples of this equipment is the lighting for the Whistler Medals Plaza, which will be the focus of all the TV cameras, and a high performance fibre optic telecommunications network set up for visitors and athletes.
