The Challenge

Costly Power For Large-Scale Construction

LendLease needed to avoid the heavy costs associated with diesel fuel on a large-scale construction development for Court Services Victoria. They were looking for a long-term solution to lower on-site noise pollution and costly emission output while powering on-site tower cranes over a two-year period.  

Costly fuel consumption

Disruptive noise pollution

On-site exhaust emissions

The Solution

A Battery Energy Storage System

Blue Diamond Machinery supplied a 500kW BESS to ensure reliable, large-scale power. Our BESS system provided power to successfully operate on-site tower cranes without relying on a diesel generator or the electrical grid. Workers experience a stable, clean and long-term solution to power generation while helping LendLease reach their carbon reduction targets. 

Zero reliance on diesel fuel or the grid

Cleaner, stable power

Long-term large-scale power solution

The Outcome

70-90% Lower Carbon Emissions

Using the BESS, LendLease can lower their carbon footprint by 70-90% in comparison to a diesel generator. The unit’s lithium-ion battery technology delivers quiet power without diesel exhaust fumes, making site operations cleaner and safer. It also eliminates the hassle of disruptive refuelling and fuel logistics. The BESS also has the capacity to save up to 12.5 tonnes of CO2 and 7000L of diesel per month. 

Significant carbon reduction savings

Eliminates noise pollution

No diesel refuelling or handling
