Services has now been awarded the contract to provide
their ‘Rainharvester’ system to Ford Motor
Co. in Dagenham. The ‘Rainharvester’ system
is able to collect rainwater and filter it before pumping
it into the building for use. Solar Services have been
installing the ‘Rainharvester’ for over
5 years and customers have documented savings of over
70%. If the customer is on a water meter then the savings
will also apply to the sewage portion of the bill. So,
that’s a 70% saving on 2 bills!
Ford is carrying out substantial
additions and refurbishments to an existing facility.
Once complete, the facility will incorporate a larger,
modern showroom and numerous service bays. The Rainharvester
is part of a range of renewable energy measures. Located
only 10 miles from the City of London, the development
will create a major new Thames-side landmark for the
capital and will make a key contribution to the renewable
energy targets outlined in the Mayor's draft energy
strategy - preventing the emission of up to 6,000 tonnes
of carbon dioxide every year.
Established in Bournemouth in 1981,
Solar Services specialises in Solar Heating, Heat Pumps
and Rainwater Harvesting. Previous contracts include
Department of Social Security, The National Trust and
Her Majesty’s Armed Forces Bases. Many thousands
of rainwater recycling systems are already installed
throughout Europe. |
