Introduction
Caxton Mechanical & Electrical Ltd (Caxton M & E) is a renowned construction and property development company specialising in delivering high-quality commercial and residential projects. With a strong emphasis on sustainability, the company actively seeks innovative solutions to minimise its environmental impact while ensuring optimal working conditions for its teams.
The Requirement
Caxton M & E required an on-site welfare unit that aligned with their environmental commitments and provided essential amenities for their workforce. Traditional diesel-powered welfare units were costly to operate and did not support the company’s sustainability objectives. They needed a compact, energy-efficient solution that could accommodate their team while reducing operational costs and emissions.
The Solution
To meet their needs, Caxton M & E introduced an ecowelfare 12ft solar-powered welfare unit, designed to accommodate up to seven people. The unit included a canteen, a toilet and a drying room, ensuring workers had access to a comfortable space for meals, hygiene and drying workwear. The fully solar-powered welfare unit eliminated the need for diesel, aligning perfectly with the company’s commitment to sustainability.
The Conclusion
- Zero fuel costs – Fully solar-powered, removing reliance on expensive diesel.
- Over 112 litres of fuel saved – Directly reducing operational expenses and environmental impact.
- More than 356kg of CO2 emissions prevented – Supporting Caxton M & E’s sustainability initiatives.
- Improved workforce wellbeing – Providing essential facilities to enhance comfort and efficiency on-site.
