Total Power Requirement: 1120 kVA 
Alternative Solution: 4 x Diesel Generators (500 kVA, 300kVA, 160 kVA, 160 kVA)

Project Overview

McGoff Construction faced a significant power challenge on their Manchester site. Their original set up involved four diesel generators to operate critical lifting equipment, a setup with highs costs and heavy environmental implications.

WOLFF Onsite were brought in and advised that a low voltage temporary building supply would soon become available. With time of the essence, the project needed to be hook-ready and fully operational as quickly as possible to meet programme milestones.

The Solution

WOLFF Onsite provided the Enertainer — a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) — as a clean, scalable alternative to diesel power. Drawing only 30A from the 90A supply, the Enertainer powered the full lifting setup seamlessly.

Key advantages included:

  • Remote monitoring with zero on-site management
  • No diesel required, dramatically cutting emissions and noise
  • Reduced traffic and delivery disruption, thanks to fewer fuel deliveries and less gate congestion
  • Mitigated risk, ensuring cranes were operational without waiting for grid upgrades

 

The Outcome

Over the 56-week period it’s been on hire, the Enertainer delivered outstanding environmental and operational benefits:

  • 753 tonnes of CO2e saved
  • Equivalent to 327,519 commutes into Manchester avoided
  • Maintained full crane and hoist operations using just a fraction of the expected power
  • Supported on-time, on-budget programme delivery

“Without asking WOLFF Onsite for help, we wouldn't have been in a position where we were able to have a positive impact on the environment and a positive impact on the program”
