Introduction

Craven Environmental is a leader in environmental management and consultancy, dedicated to sustainable practices in waste management, land remediation and ecological services. With operations often taking place in remote or environmentally sensitive areas, ensuring high-quality, eco-friendly welfare facilities for their workforce was essential. They needed a sustainable, cost-effective solution that aligned with their environmental values while providing comfort and efficiency for their teams.

The Requirement

Providing on-site welfare facilities that meet environmental standards and ensure staff wellbeing is a key challenge for Craven Environmental. Traditional diesel-powered units conflicted with their sustainability goals, presenting high fuel costs and emissions. They required a modern welfare solution that could offer essential amenities, including sanitation, a canteen area and a drying room, while significantly reducing their carbon footprint.

The Solution

To address these needs, Craven Environmental partnered with ecowelfare to implement a 12ft fully solar-powered welfare unit. The unit included a canteen for meal preparation and breaks, a single toilet for essential sanitation and a drying room for storing and drying work gear. By utilising solar power, this welfare unit provided an environmentally responsible, cost-effective alternative that supported both operational efficiency and sustainability commitments.

The Conclusion

Zero fuel costs – Fully solar-powered, eliminating reliance on diesel.
Over 307 litres of fuel saved – Reducing operational expenses and environmental impact.
More than 974kg of CO₂ emissions avoided – Supporting Craven Environmental’s commitment to sustainability.
Improved workforce welfare – Providing comfortable, well-equipped spaces tailored to site needs.

Craven Environmental chose ecowelfare for its sustainable and efficient welfare solution. The 100% solar-powered unit helped reduce carbon emissions, aligning with the company’s environmental objectives. It was also cost-effective, eliminating fuel costs and enhancing operational efficiency. With quick delivery, installation and servicing, the setup was seamless and caused minimal disruption to ongoing work.
