Introduction
Broad Oak Properties is a leading property development and construction company, specialising in high-quality residential and commercial projects across the UK. With a strong focus on sustainability, the company actively seeks innovative solutions to reduce its environmental impact while maintaining operational efficiency.
The Requirement
Broad Oak Properties needed an on-site welfare solution that was both practical and aligned with their sustainability commitments. Traditional diesel-powered welfare units were expensive and did not support their green initiatives. They required a compact, energy-efficient welfare unit that could provide essential amenities, including a canteen, while reducing their carbon footprint.
The Solution
Broad Oak Properties partnered with ecowelfare to introduce a fully solar-powered 12ft welfare unit, featuring a canteen, one toilet and a drying room. This eco-friendly solution provided workers with a comfortable and hygienic space to rest, eat and change, ensuring welfare needs were met without the environmental drawbacks of fuel-powered alternatives. The unit’s sustainable design helped Broad Oak Properties meet their environmental goals while enhancing site efficiency.
The Conclusion
- Zero fuel costs – Fully solar-powered operation, eliminating diesel reliance.
- Over 159 litres of fuel saved – Lowering operational expenses and reducing environmental impact.
- Over half a tonne of CO2 emissions avoided – Supporting Broad Oak Properties’ sustainability objectives.
- Improved workforce wellbeing – Providing essential welfare facilities, including a canteen, enhancing comfort and productivity.
