our own modular site accommodation, where we’ ve integrated intelligent building management systems to track energy use and see how we can use it more efficiently.”
Eddie adds:“ In our temporary electrics and power business, we’ ve invested in a fleet of battery solutions to replace our diesel generators where possible, and we’ ve also trialled electric and hybrid piling rigs and electric concrete pumps in our specialist plant. On top of that, we now have a lot of electric battery-operated equipment, such as electric excavators, telehandlers, and rollers, and we’ ve invested in battery charging infrastructure alongside that, to provide a total solution.”
Such investments have been integral in securing successful projects and partnerships for Select, further amplifying its marketleading position.“ We’ re going through a really exciting period; we’ re starting a large number of data centre, hospital, and grid
upgrade projects, and supporting some nuclear and small modular reactor projects,” Mark explains.“ To support this large pipeline, we’ re investing back into our fleet, working with Terex and Liebherr on heavy crane solutions to support the requirements of future nuclear and modular projects.
“ Additionally, we’ re working on sustainable solutions for modular accommodation, such as solar power, which will work alongside our building management systems to ensure that it’ s running efficiently. In our plant business, we’ re investing in the newest technology available, particularly around machine control for our engineering and surveying departments. When it comes to safety, productivity, and sustainability, we’ re always investing in technology that supports the aims of our project teams.”
Looking ahead, Select is well-positioned for continued growth and success. With 164
