Overview:
From 2019 to 2023, Transport for NSW, AECOM, and BMD have embarked on a $1.7B project to construct 60kms of new overtaking lanes and improve highway resilience and reliability along the Newell Highway.
Key challenge:
Since the project was done in stages along a 1,000km stretch of road, there were varying ground and weather conditions, logistics, and resourcing issues to deal with.
Solarator® solution:
Black Stump Technologies’ robust and reliable Solarator® Fold-Out 50+ kVa replaced a 110 kVa diesel generator at BMD Group's Newell Highway site resulting in annual fuel cost savings of $168,000 and annual carbon emissions reductions of 225,000 kgs. At current configurations, BMD Group can expect payback in 1.6 years. By properly applying our definitive principles when using renewable energy, the fold-out unit has delivered significant reductions in CO2 emissions and fuel spending compared to a business-as-usual scenario using diesel.
Project wins:
- Market leadership in sustainable and innovative construction practices
- Less time-consuming and more cost-effective than building permanent solar infrastructure
- Easily redeployed at multiple temporary project sites ensuring ROI
