Introduction
Completely Kompact Drilling Ltd is a specialist drilling company committed to delivering efficient and environmentally responsible services. With projects often taking place in remote locations, ensuring high-quality welfare facilities for their workforce was a priority. They needed a sustainable and cost-effective solution that would support their operations while reducing their environmental impact.

The Requirement
On-site welfare is essential for maintaining workforce wellbeing and efficiency, especially in demanding drilling environments. Traditional diesel-powered welfare units presented high operational costs and environmental concerns, conflicting with the company’s commitment to sustainability. Completely Kompact Drilling Ltd sought a modern, eco-friendly alternative that would provide essential amenities, including sanitation, a canteen area and a drying room, without relying on fossil fuels.
The Solution
To meet these needs, Completely Kompact Drilling Ltd partnered with ecowelfare to implement a 12ft fully solar-powered welfare unit. The unit featured a canteen for meal preparation and breaks, a single toilet for essential sanitation and a drying room for storing and drying work gear. By utilising solar power, this welfare unit provided an efficient and environmentally responsible alternative, reducing reliance on fuel while enhancing worker comfort.
The Conclusion
- Zero fuel costs – Fully solar-powered, eliminating reliance on diesel.
- Over 76 litres of fuel saved – Reducing operational expenses and environmental impact.
- More than 243kg of CO2 emissions avoided – Supporting Completely Kompact Drilling Ltd’s commitment to sustainability.
- Improved workforce welfare – Providing comfortable, well-equipped spaces tailored to site needs.
