At Watson & Hillhouse, we are constantly seeking innovative and sustainable solutions for our clients’ piling and foundation projects. Recently, we had the pleasure of exhibiting at Infratech 2025 in Rotterdam, a leading international trade fair for infrastructure and construction. Our focus at the show was the Kowan Silent Still Worker with the NEW fully electric power pack. This exciting development represents a significant leap forward in sustainable piling practices.
Introducing the Kowan Still Worker with NEW Electric Power Pack
The NEW electric power pack is a huge advancement for silent piling operations. It features an onboard 160kWh battery, significantly reducing the reliance on traditional fuel sources. This innovative system requires only 50KVA of external power to maintain a constant charge, which can be sourced from the grid, a standalone battery pack, or a small 70-100KVA generator. The electric power pack delivers the same impressive performance as the diesel version, while significantly reducing emissions and noise pollution.
Key Benefits of the NEW Electric Power Pack:
- Significantly Reduced Noise and Emissions: Minimise noise pollution and reduce your environmental impact.
- Enhanced Sustainability: Minimise reliance on fossil fuels and contribute to a greener construction industry.
- Uninterrupted Operation: The 160kWh battery provides ample power for continuous operation, ensuring project efficiency.
- Ideal for Urban Environments: The quiet and eco-friendly operation makes this system ideal for projects in noise-sensitive areas.
