Case Study: Unlocking Over €65,000 in Savings for Ringsend, Co. Dublin with Innovative Energy Solutions

At KDM Hire, we’re committed to driving the future of construction through sustainable innovation. Our goal is to provide eco-friendly solutions that not only reduce environmental impact but also enhance operational efficiency.

Recently, at a site in Ringsend, Co Dublin, one of our customers made a significant transition from a traditional 100% diesel-powered energy source to our Hybrid Battery Power Unit, complemented by our Solar Kits.

We’re excited to share the transformative results of this switch and how it embodies our commitment to sustainability.

The Challenge: A Need for Greener Energy Solutions

The Ringsend site, like many in the construction industry, was heavily reliant on diesel generators to power its operations. While dependable, these generators contribute to high CO2 emissions, significant noise pollution, and rising fuel costs—factors that are increasingly unsustainable in today’s environmentally-conscious landscape.

Recognising the need for change, our customer sought an energy solution that would reduce their carbon footprint without sacrificing performance. That’s where our Go Green products came into play.

Our Solution: Hybrid Battery Power Unit and Solar Kits

After assessing the site’s energy requirements, we recommended a combination of our Hybrid Battery Power Unit and Solar Kits, both of which are integral to our Go Green initiative.

Hybrid Battery Power Unit:

• Product Details: Hybrid Battery Power Unit – Link the Hybrid Battery Unit to an on-site generator and let the hybrid technology regulate power consumption on demand.
• Key Features: Combines battery storage with renewable energy to provide a consistent and reliable power supply. Significantly reduces diesel fuel usage, lowering CO2 emissions and operational costs. Quiet operation, reducing noise pollution and creating a safer work environment. Ideal for applications where uninterrupted power is crucial.

Solar Kits:

• Product Details: Solar Kits for Hire – Available for integration with a range of our cabins, battery power units and hybrid lighting towers.
• Key Features: High-efficiency solar panels that harness the sun’s energy to further reduce reliance on traditional fuel sources. Portable and easy to integrate into existing site setups. Reduce fuel costs and emissions while providing a sustainable energy solution. Perfect for remote locations or sites where access to grid power is limited.

The seamless integration of these products into the Ringsend site’s operations ensured a smooth transition to a greener, more efficient power source.

The Results: Tangible Benefits for the Environment and the Bottom Line

The impact of switching to our Hybrid Battery Power Unit and Solar Kits was immediate and impressive:

• Significant Cost Savings: By drastically reducing diesel consumption, the site saved an impressive €65,785.26 in fuel costs over the course of the 276-day project. This substantial saving directly improved the project's profitability and showcased the financial advantage of our hybrid solutions.
• CO2 Emission Reduction: Alongside the financial benefits, the site also achieved a remarkable reduction of 157,884.63kg in CO2 emissions over the project duration, contributing to a more sustainable and eco-friendly operation.
• Enhanced Operational Efficiency: The hybrid power system delivered quieter, more efficient energy, significantly improving on-site working conditions and reducing noise pollution.
