The Solution to Construction Pressure Points

It’s no secret that there are a lot of construction pressure points. With spiralling costs, labour shortages, and increased demand for sustainable solutions, it’s no wonder that our customers are feeling the pinch.

One customer in particular has turned to us to find a solution that limits fuel consumption, controls energy costs, and helps hit their sustainability goals. After some consultation, our team installed a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) onsite – an invaluable addition to their power set up. We’re thrilled to share the results of this collaboration, exploring how much BESS can help to ease the pressure points for the construction industry.

Cost Saving

In life only three things are certain: death, taxes, and cost overruns. Rising labour and material costs are leading to budget inaccuracies, a big concern for those operating across the construction industry. While BESS can’t solve this problem, it can help, providing a significant fuel saving. For our customer, this looked like a 74% reduction in diesel consumption, saving them £1,921.88 every week.

Sustainability Mandates

ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) compliance, waste management, and carbon reduction targets are increasingly prevalent across the industry. This can add an extra layer of difficulty and expense to projects. However, batteries make hitting sustainability targets easier. Their plug and play nature make them simple to integrate into almost any power system and with a reduction of 3273.39kg of CO2 over just seven days, the results speak for themselves.

Choose New Technologies

Adopting new technology can make a huge difference in overcoming the current industry pain points. Resistance to these changes is common across construction, especially as it has carried risks. In the past, BESS produced substandard results and lead to some mistrust across construction companies. However, these systems have now evolved, becoming more reliable and safer.

Working with Dawsongroup can also help. We are committed to removing new technology barriers, offering our customers access to the right equipment without upfront capital or the risks of depreciation. If you’re still not sold on battery technology, our Smarter Asset Strategy lets you experience BESS without long-term commitment.
