CONSTRUCTION CRANE FUEL SAVING OF £94,500.

Market:
Construction

Project:
Supply generators to operate cranes on site in England.

Problem:
Generators were sized full load. In evenings, nights and at weekends, demand fell dramatically but needless amounts of fuel were still being burned.

Package:
4 X 250 kVA generators coupled with the market-leading Eco2Pod unit, and all ancillary items.

Technical Solution:

  • In evenings and at weekends the load on 4 X 250k VA generators was solely from crane lights, which ran 24/7.
  • Weekdays, crane inactive 6pm to 8am; weekends unused.
  • The chosen emission-control solution operated 90 hours/week (charging 2 hours/12)
  • Zero load fuel usage for 4 generators = save 30 litres/hour.
  • 30 litres X 90 hours = save 2,700 litres/week
  • Cost reduction: £1/litre = £2,700/week
  • Total saving over 35 week contract = £94,500.00
