THE BRIEF
Problem We Helped Solve
Paynter Dixon required a temporary power solution for a 19-storey, 248-unit mixed-use
development but wanted to avoid the cost, maintenance burden and operational challenges
associated with running generators. The project required power across multiple locations on
site, with varying load demands throughout construction.
What Needed to be Powered
2 x 220A Tower Crane
2 x 120A Hoist
Jump Form
100A Site Amenities
2 x Satellites
3x 63A Temp DB’s
Dewatering
Alternatives Assessed
The site would have required at least 2x 350Kva Generators, alongside the 63A mains
connection.
THE POWERSHIFT SOLUTION
The Enertainer Series are large-scale advanced battery systems, engineered to power entire construction sites and heavy industrial plant and equipment.
THE HIGHLIGHTS
The battery units successfully supported the various loads, delivering several key benefits to
Paynter Dixon:
Cost Savings
Reduced operating costs by eliminating the need for continuous generator
operation, significantly lowering fuel, maintenance, and servicing expenses.
Improved Efficiency
With no generator refuelling, servicing, or maintenance required, site teams could focus on project delivery rather than managing power infrastructure.
Space Efficient
The compact footprint of the battery units enabled deployment in a constrained
construction environment without disrupting site operations. This was particularly valuable as power was required across two separate locations on site.
Scalable Power Solution
The combination of battery systems provided the flexibility to adapt to changing site requirements, ensuring reliable power throughout the project’s lifecycle.
Reduced Noise Impact
Operating silently compared to traditional generators, the battery solution minimised noise impacts on neighbouring residents. This was a significant advantage given the project was being delivered within an established apartment community.
