Introduction
Arbor Contracts is a leading specialist in commercial landscaping, fencing and civil engineering services, delivering high-quality solutions across the UK. Committed to sustainability and efficiency, they continuously seek innovative ways to minimise environmental impact while ensuring the wellbeing of their workforce.Â

The Requirement
Arbor Contracts operates across a diverse range of sites, often in remote or developing areas where access to welfare facilities is limited. Providing a comfortable and eco-friendly on-site welfare solution was essential to maintaining workforce efficiency and aligning with their sustainability goals. Traditional diesel-powered welfare units were expensive to operate and did not reflect their commitment to reducing carbon emissions.Â
The Solution
Arbor Contracts partnered with ecowelfare to integrate fully solar-powered welfare units across their project sites. The 12ft toilet/drying room combination unit provided an ideal on-site solution, offering a comfortable space for workers while eliminating reliance on fossil fuels. Equipped with built-in canteen and drying facilities, the units improved workforce efficiency, enhanced site sustainability and ensured employee wellbeing.Â
The Conclusion
- Zero fuel costs – Fully solar-powered operation, eliminating reliance on diesel.Â
- Over 213 litres of fuel saved – Lowering operational expenses and reducing environmental impact.Â
- Over one tonne of CO2 emissions avoided – Supporting Arbor Contracts’ sustainability objectives.Â
- Enhanced workforce wellbeing – Providing essential on-site welfare facilities in all conditions.
