In early 2024, the UK’s leading power generator and a leading renewables developer announced the construction of seven new UK solar and co-located battery projects.
The company aims to commission on average 450MW of new UK solar capacity per year up to 2030 in support of the UK’s ambitions for 70GW of solar capacity by 2035.
Ethical Power were awarded the construction contract to develop a solar farm in Langford, Exeter, that will provide 35MW solar + 35MW BESS (Battery Energy Storage Systems).
As one of the UK’s most innovative and ambitious sustainable energy companies, Ethical Power are pioneers in the renewable energy industry, leading the field in the delivery of green energy projects.
Ethical Power required the services of Cleveland Hire to help create a site compound for the solar farm build.
The extensive site set-up will be on hire for the duration of construction, which is estimated to be around one year, and features multiple units including offices, canteens, drying rooms, toilets, showers, and stores.
Opting for Cleveland Hire’s JCoP Gold Standard fleet of site accommodation units, Ethical Power have ensured their temporary structures fully comply with the latest JCoP 10.1 fire safety guidelines.
By hiring a variety of accommodation units, workers are provided with designated spaces that cater to their specific needs, ensuring they have comfortable and well-equipped areas for both productive work and restful break times.
Several shipping containers were modified to include electrics and racking for safe storage purposes.
For this project, we supplied:
- Seven 32ft Canteens
- Eight 32ft Offices
- Five 32ft Drying Rooms
- Two 32ft Heart Units (Double Office)
- Three 10ft Stores
- One 10ft COSHH Store
- Two 20ft Stores with electrics and racking
- Two 6+1 Toilet + Shower
- One 3+1 Toilet Block
- Four tanks
- Five staircases for stacked units
Working with Cleveland Hire was an incredibly smooth experience, thanks to the fantastic help from Matt and Greg. The final site set-up exceeded our expectations, delivering an extremely high-quality finish that has left our client thoroughly impressed. The top-quality cabins were expertly delivered, and the pricing was spot on. We couldn't be happier with the outcome.
