Introduction
Crown Security Solutions is a leading provider of security services, offering expert protection for businesses, events and high-risk locations. With operations often requiring on-site personnel in remote or high-security environments, ensuring comfortable and efficient welfare facilities was essential. They sought a sustainable solution that would provide vital amenities while aligning with their commitment to reducing environmental impact.

The Requirement
Security teams often work long hours in demanding conditions, making high-quality welfare facilities crucial for their wellbeing and productivity. Traditional diesel-powered welfare units posed challenges, including high operational costs and excessive carbon emissions. Crown Security Solutions required a modern, eco-friendly alternative that could provide essential facilities, such as sanitation, a canteen and a drying room, while reducing their reliance on fossil fuels.
The Solution
To meet these needs, Crown Security Solutions partnered with ecowelfare to deploy multiple 12ft fully solar-powered welfare units. Each unit included a canteen for meal preparation and breaks, a toilet for sanitation and a drying room for storing and maintaining equipment. The solar-powered units offered an environmentally responsible and cost-effective solution that enhanced operational efficiency while reducing emissions.
The Conclusion
- Zero fuel costs – Fully solar-powered, eliminating reliance on diesel.
- Over 360 litres of fuel saved – Reducing operational expenses and environmental impact.
- More than 1.1 tonnes of CO2 emissions avoided – Supporting Crown Security Solutions’ sustainability goals.
- Improved workforce welfare – Providing comfortable, well-equipped spaces tailored to security personnel needs.
