Historic Golf Course Gets a Green Makeover with New Power Solution
In a remarkable and eco-friendly initiative, a collaboration between Morrison Construction and Carrier Rental Systems is transforming the power setup at the iconic Old Course, famed as the oldest golf course in the world since records began in 1552. This groundbreaking project embraces sustainable practices and marks a significant step in preparing for the bustling golf seasons ahead.
Temporary Power with a Purpose
Supported by Carrier Rental Systems, Morrison Construction has been supplied with a low-emission, low-noise temporary power package aimed at enabling critical drainage works for Scottish Water. With the 2025 golfing season just around the corner, time is of the essence to ensure the Old Course remains in pristine condition. The construction team’s task is no small feat, involving renewing a vital water pipe that stretches from the prestigious Royal and Ancient Golf Club building to beneath the iconic first tee and the tenth green.
Powered by Clean Energy
The innovative power solution comprises an LPG generator along with an X‑45 battery storage unit, designed to significantly reduce emissions and runtime during the operation. This modern system doesn’t just enhance efficiency; it also aligns with the growing demand for sustainable practices in construction and beyond. Notably, an electric vehicle (EV) charger has been included to facilitate a smooth transition to sustainable energy usage on-site.
Smart Monitoring for Greener Choices
One of the standout features of this project is the installation of the Panorama Monitoring System. This smart technology provides real-time data on key factors such as COâ‚‚ savings, fuel use, and overall power consumption. Aside from boosting operational efficiency, this system ensures that the project aligns with environmental standards, providing a measurable impact on sustainability.
Impressive Environmental Impact
The results from the project paint a promising picture. The temporary power solution boasts a weekly carbon avoidance of an impressive 2.6 tonnes when compared to conventional diesel alternatives. This remarkable achievement underscores the commitment to protecting the environment while carrying out necessary construction work that is vital for these cherished grounds.
A Smooth Operation Under Pressure
Despite the pressures of maintaining operational resilience while performing crucial underground works, Morrison Construction has managed to minimize noise and environmental impacts. The care taken to balance functionality with eco-friendliness is commendable, showcasing that major construction can coexist harmoniously with nature.
All Systems Go for the Golf Season
From conception to installation, this project was completed with flying colors and well ahead of the start of the 2025 golf season. With the power setup running smoothly, golfers and visitors alike can look forward to enjoying the storied greens of the Old Course, knowing it’s being maintained with the utmost respect for sustainability.
Celebrating Sustainability in Construction
The success of this project serves as a shining example of how construction companies can innovate to meet high environmental standards while also addressing the demands of historical locations. Morrison Construction and Carrier Rental Systems are paving the way for a greener future in the construction industry, ensuring progress doesn’t come at the earth’s expense.
