The daunting problem with construction companies showcasing and investing in greener upgrades is the effect it may have on the bottom line, as well as causing significant delays. However, a study between Aggreko and Sir Robert McAlpine recently showed that this doesn’t have to be the case. Both companies have been reforming their approach by analysing how equipment performs on-site and determining where improvements can be made. Not only does this aim to keep net-zero ambitions on track but also to demonstrate this kind of strategic knowledge-sharing is the key to real progress.
Aggreko was brought on board to conduct a range of field trials at Sir Robert McAlpine’s Kettering plant. The tests looked to understand which of Aggreko’s generator setups was most efficient for providing power on-site, in turn giving both organisations the practical knowledge needed to make more sustainable decisions at other projects across the country.
