Introduction
DN Groundworks is a leading provider of groundworks and civil engineering solutions, committed to delivering high-quality services while prioritising sustainability. With multiple teams operating across various sites, ensuring proper welfare facilities was essential. DN Groundworks sought an environmentally friendly solution that would provide essential amenities while aligning with their sustainability goals.
The Requirement
Ensuring workforce wellbeing and operational efficiency requires reliable on-site welfare facilities. Traditional diesel-powered welfare units resulted in high running costs and significant carbon emissions, conflicting with DN Groundworks’ commitment to sustainability. They needed a modern, energy-efficient alternative that provided sanitation, drying facilities and canteen space while minimising environmental impact.
The Solution
To meet their needs, DN Groundworks partnered with ecowelfare to deploy three 12ft fully solar-powered welfare units across their sites. Each unit included a canteen for meal breaks and refreshments, a toilet for sanitation and a drying room to ensure workwear remained in optimal condition. These solar-powered units provided a cost-effective, eco-friendly alternative, reducing reliance on traditional fuel-powered welfare solutions while enhancing workforce comfort.
The Conclusion
- Zero fuel costs – Fully solar-powered, eliminating reliance on diesel.
- Over 414 litres of fuel saved – Reducing operational expenses and environmental impact.
- More than 1.3 tonnes of CO2 emissions avoided – Supporting DN Groundworks’ sustainability goals.
- Improved workforce welfare – Providing comfortable, well-equipped spaces tailored to site requirements.
