The Challenge
Fast drying a wet winter building site
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.

The Solution
One modular mobile system for drying four buildings
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.
