When working at temporary locations such as construction sites, ensuring that all workers have access to the necessary welfare facilities and home comforts is of critical importance. While providing essential welfare facilities and amenities at static sites is relatively straightforward, provisioning the same facilities at mobile sites could potentially be a little more complicated if you do not know all your options.
In the fast-paced world of construction, ensuring a consistent and reliable power supply is not just a convenience but a necessity. Garic’s Microgrid provides the industry with a sustainable, scalable power solution that is reliable and bespoke to the site it is serving.
