How Fuel Management Systems Support Sustainable Construction

The world is in a strange and challenging place right now. We all understand that there is a climate crisis that must be addressed, and for the plant hire sector and the industries that it supports, this is more relevant than ever, due to the high level of carbon emissions that those industries produce. There is a will to make a positive change, and we have always fought for innovation, for greater fuel efficiencies and lower emissions in the models of plant we have as part of our fleet and the fuel management system that we have developed for our clients.

As the world also faces economic uncertainty, there must be the will to continue to do what’s right for the climate, to push the boundaries of technological innovation and to look at where we can make a difference in every little aspect of our daily lives. It is possible, and our fuel management systems are an incredible example of this.

Construction and sustainability

Amidst a great challenge for the entire world in terms of the climate crisis, it is more important than ever before that one of the biggest culprits of global carbon emissions does more to help. The construction sector must play a crucial role in developing key strategies for carbon and cost estimating within a sustainable model of construction. Construction plant hire can help with this, providing new, more efficient models of plant that can be utilised on site in a way that doesn’t lower productivity or standards but does significantly lower the carbon footprint of each project.

Fuel management system options for lower carbon emissions

Alongside the choice of more fuel-efficient models of plant, construction companies should also invest in the idea of a smart fuel management system. A smart fuel management system, such as our Fuel-IT service, is the ideal way to manage the fuel efficiency of your entire operation. It helps you to track fuel consumption down to each individual asset. What this means is that you have access to up-to-the-minute data that is accurate and can tell you why there has been a delay to a delivery, or why there is an asset sitting idle on site.

Over time, this data analysis can be put into good use to improve planning of plant hire of certain machines and equipment, to work out where the pinch points are on certain projects and sites, and where you can continue to lower emissions and lower your costs at the same time.

Power your project and site smartly with Fuel-IT and Ardent

It’s important that construction companies change the way that they look at fuel provisions. Lowering fuel waste and becoming more efficient with every single action is key to lowering carbon emissions across the industry while maintaining good cost control. Our team has developed Fuel-IT to offer a high level of smart fuel management systems to help you achieve this goal.
