Drying out a construction site in winter weather

A little rain never hurt anyone, but a lot of bad weather can spell time delays and budget blowouts for a construction site. A construction company Ashcourt called us when they found themselves behind schedule on the construction of four student accommodation buildings. The interior had been exposed to the extremes of a British winter causing site workers frustrations and delay.

To dry out the building, we packaged up a 125kW diesel space heater and ducting connected to a 30 kVA generator. This was linked to a 1,000-litre fuel tank to minimise the footprint. Because the equipment was modular and easy to move, we only needed one heater to dry out all four buildings.

Despite the bad weather, the project was delivered ahead of schedule. Savings were made by only having to hire one effective modular heater for all four buildings. By rolling the power and temperature control into one package, the customer needed to manage only one supplier, one point of contact and invoice, saving on coordination tasks and administration time.
