Introduction
DJ Southern Roofing is a specialist roofing company committed to delivering high-quality roofing solutions with a focus on efficiency and sustainability. With teams working on-site for extended periods, ensuring reliable welfare facilities was essential. DJ Southern Roofing sought an environmentally friendly solution that would provide essential amenities while aligning with their sustainability goals.

The Requirement
Reliable on-site welfare facilities are vital for maintaining workforce wellbeing and efficiency. Traditional diesel-powered welfare units incurred high running costs and contributed significantly to carbon emissions, conflicting with DJ Southern Roofing’s sustainability commitments. They needed a modern, energy-efficient alternative that provided sanitation, a canteen and adequate facilities for their workforce while reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
The Solution
To address these needs, DJ Southern Roofing partnered with ecowelfare to deploy a 12ft fully solar-powered welfare unit on-site. The unit featured a canteen for meal preparation and breaks, along with twin toilets to ensure sufficient sanitation facilities for their workforce. This solar-powered welfare unit offered a cost-effective, eco-friendly alternative that met operational demands while significantly lowering emissions and operational expenses.
