Your construction project, our solution: emost Butler for tunnel construction

Tunnel construction companies are faced with the challenge of providing a reliable and flexible energy supply for their construction sites, regardless of the space conditions and connection options on site. The emost Butler offers just that: a mobile and powerful solution that enables tunnel construction companies to make their projects more efficient and cost-effective. With its ability to handle heavy loads and adapt to changing requirements, the Butler is the ideal choice for tunnel construction.

Tunnel construction without a grid connection: the Butler from emost makes it possible!

When renovating tunnels, space and infrastructure are difficult, especially during ongoing operations. To power the continuously moving works, diesel generators are often used for lighting, mixers, concrete pumps, ventilation systems and other equipment. Many of these machines require a substantial power supply and may require a fuse rating of 63A or even 125A.

The emost Butler S and M are perfect for tough use in such environments. With a fuse rating of up to 63A (Butler S) or 125A (Butler M), they can also reliably supply power to demanding machines in tunnel construction. In addition, the Butler models solve the problem of high leakage currents, which is particularly important in environments with powerful electrical installations.

Thanks to their performance and reliability, emost Butlers are the ideal solution for use on tunnel construction sites, where a reliable and safe power supply is essential.

LEED, BREEAM, DGNB, ISO 14001, ERAS – Achieve your environmental certification more easily with emost!

There are various environmental certificates and certifications for construction sites and developers that promote environmentally friendly construction and sustainable practices. Some well-known environmental certificates are

  1. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design): LEED is a globally recognized certification system for environmentally friendly and sustainable buildings. It evaluates various aspects such as energy efficiency, use of water resources, choice of materials, indoor air quality and choice of location.
  2. BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method): BREEAM is a similar certification system to LEED and assesses the environmental performance of buildings on the basis of various criteria. It is often used in Europe.
  3. DGNB (German Sustainable Building Council): The DGNB awards certificates for sustainable buildings, taking into account ecological, economic, social and functional aspects. It is widespread in Germany.
  4. ISO 14001: ISO 14001 is an international standard for environmental management systems that helps organizations improve environmental performance, reduce environmental impacts and comply with legal obligations.
  5. EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme): EMAS is a voluntary environmental management system that helps companies to continuously improve their environmental performance and communicate it transparently.

These certifications and environmental certificates help construction companies and property developers to minimize their environmental impact and implement sustainable construction projects.

With emost Butler, construction companies can simplify and accelerate their environmental certification. By using the Butler, construction sites can be operated more efficiently, leading to a reduction in energy consumption, emissions and waste. This makes it easier for companies to meet the requirements for environmental certificates such as LEED, BREEAM or ISO 14001 and improve their environmental performance.
