Ferrovial has launched a green site hut developed by company employees.

Ferrovial said the site huts can save around 拢12,000 in energy costs a year

The service modules, which are assembled in recycled containers, are equipped with inverters, storage batteries, energy management and control systems, telecommunications network services and the necessary connections to provide service to office sheds and site equipment.

There is also space for presentations, virtual classroom and health and safety equipment.

Based on a pilot test, Ferrovial estimates that the annual savings from the module will be worth around 鈧�14,000 (拢12,000) each year.

Meanwhile, Ferrovial Construction UK said income last year was up 19% 拢456m. Pre-tax profit jumped from 拢1.4m to 拢5.3m.
