Introduction
Agripower is a leading specialist in sports pitch construction, delivering high-quality, sustainable solutions for natural and synthetic playing surfaces across the UK. With a strong focus on innovation and environmental responsibility, they provide tailored services for schools, local authorities and professional sports clubs.
The Requirement
Many of Agripower’s projects are located in rural or remote areas where access to conventional welfare facilities is limited. Ensuring the health and wellbeing of their workforce—while staying true to their environmental principles—was a key priority. Traditional diesel-powered welfare units not only posed logistical challenges but also undermined their goal of building greener sports infrastructure.
The Solution
To address both environmental and operational needs, Agripower partnered with ecowelfare to deploy fully solar-powered welfare units across their sites. The 12ft toilet/drying room combination unit offered a practical and eco-friendly alternative—providing workers with comfortable rest areas, built-in canteen space and drying facilities. All without relying on fossil fuels.
The Conclusion
- Zero fuel costs – Solar-powered operation removed the need for diesel.
- Over 325 litres of fuel saved – Helping cut operational expenses and reduce emissions.
- Over one tonne of CO₂ emissions avoided – Advancing Agripower’s environmental commitments.
- Enhanced workforce wellbeing – Reliable, weather-resistant welfare facilities ensured worker comfort, even in remote locations.
Agripower chose ecowelfare for its alignment with the company’s green building ethos. The 100% solar-powered units offer a sustainable solution while eliminating fuel costs, supporting both budget-conscious and environmentally responsible project delivery. With seamless delivery, installation and maintenance, ecowelfare ensures no disruption to project timelines.
