Introduction
Grundfos UK is a global leader in advanced pump solutions and water technology, dedicated to energy-efficient and sustainable innovations. As part of their ongoing commitment to sustainability and employee wellbeing, they sought an eco-friendly welfare solution to enhance on-site working conditions.
The Requirement
Providing high-quality, compliant welfare facilities for on-site teams was a top priority for Grundfos UK. Traditional diesel-powered welfare units were costly to operate and had a significant environmental impact. The company needed a modern, sustainable alternative that would ensure essential amenities while aligning with their sustainability objectives.
The Solution
Grundfos UK partnered with ecowelfare to install a 12ft fully solar-powered welfare unit. This unit included a canteen for staff breaks and meal preparation, a drying room to improve workforce comfort and one toilet to maintain hygiene standards. By eliminating the need for diesel generators, the welfare unit provided a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution, offering a comfortable and efficient space for employees on-site.
The Conclusion
- Zero fuel costs – Fully solar-powered, eliminating reliance on diesel.
- Over 17 litres of fuel saved – Reducing operational expenses and environmental impact.
- More than 56kg of CO2 emissions avoided – Supporting Grundfos UK’s sustainability objectives.
- Improved workforce welfare – Providing a well-equipped, comfortable space for on-site staff.
