The Challenge

Costly Power For Large-Scale Construction

LendLease needed to avoid the heavy costs associated with diesel fuel on a large-scale construction development for Court Services Victoria. They were looking for a long-term solution to lower on-site noise pollution and costly emission output while powering on-site tower cranes over a two-year period.  

Costly fuel consumption

Disruptive noise pollution

On-site exhaust emissions

The Solution

BDM’s Battery Energy Storage System(BESS) Unit

Blue Diamond Machinery supplied a 500kW BESS unit to ensure reliable, large-scale power. Battery Energy Storage Systems are able to provide power to successfully operate on-site tower cranes without relying on a diesel generator or the electrical grid. Worker’s experience stable, clean and long-term solution to power generation while helping LendLease reach their carbon reduction targets. 

Zero reliance on diesel fuel or the grid

Cleaner, stable power

Long-term large-scale power solution

The Outcome

70-90% Lower Carbon Emissions

Using the BESS unit, LendLease can lower their carbon footprint by 70-90% in comparison to a diesel generator. BESS units have lithium-ion battery technology which delivers quiet power without diesel exhaust fumes, making site operations cleaner and safer. It also eliminates the hassle of disruptive refuelling and fuel logistics. BESS units also have the capacity to save up to 12.5 tonnes of CO2 and 7000L of diesel per month. 

Significant carbon reduction savings

Eliminates noise pollution

No diesel refuelling or handling
