Big renovation, big savings: two examples of renovation projects

Contractors often use heavy electrical equipment for renovation projects. But what if the grid connection on-site isn’t powerful enough? In this blog, you’ll discover how you can easily make any grid connection as powerful as you need it to be. As a bonus, you’ll save a lot on emissions and diesel costs. Curious about how much diesel you can save on your next project? Read more to find out! 

Example 1 – Cat 320 NG Z-Line Electric Excavator 

Replacing the sheet piling along the river

The city council of Utrecht, the Netherlands, wants to replace the sheet piling along the river Eem. However, the city council deemed that a renovation project surrounded by nature must be carried out without emissions. By using a battery instead of a generator, the 120 kW electric excavator gets charged sustainably. This results in monthly savings of: 

  • 5295 litres of diesel 
  • 17 tonnes of CO2
  • 82 kg of nitrogen
  • 529 generator operating hours 

Example 2 – Telescopic crane + Silent Piler

Replacing quay walls in Amsterdam

Our client was replacing quay walls in Amsterdam using a telescopic crane and Silent Piler. These resulted in peaks of 227 kW that the 63A grid connection could not support. Instead of a 200 kVA generator, the customer opted for a more sustainable solution. 

They rang us on Friday afternoon, and Monday morning we were on site with a battery. Just plug it in and within an hour, the 422 kWh battery was ready to provide additional power. After two months, this resulted in savings of: 

  • 1437 litres of diesel 
  • 5 tonnes of CO2 
  • 22 kg of nitrogen 
  • 139 generator operating hours 

Benefits

In short, a battery is the perfect complement to your renovation project. Easily arranged, simple to deploy on any project, and gives you insight into your exact energy consumption. Useful knowledge for your future projects

  • Fast delivery 
  • Setup tailor-made to your specific energy needs 
  • Precise insights into your savings
