Net Zero Strategy

Plant and Transport - Plant and Tools MANAGE, MONITOR AND REPORT The growth of electric infrastructure within the UK, particularly London and the South East, means it will become easier to use electric to power small tools, welfare cabins and plant. Fuel card usage for small tool refills represents 3% of the annual greenhouse gas emission from fuel usage in 2018/19.

Main tools include:

• Disc cutters • Breakers • Tower lights • Drills • Wacker plates • Trench rammers

FM Conway mainly operates large plant, which are predominantly purchased as opposed to hired. The main items consist of 130 Excavators, 50 Dumpers, 51 Forklifts; some of these items are solely for operation at asphalt plants, whilst others are used on mobile sites. Gas oil consumption accounts for 16% of annual GHG emissions, with much of this consumption from depot fuel bowsers or to power mobile generators. Feedback from trials will be gathered using our innovation forums and workshops which are attended by a wide range of operational representatives. This will ensure we are making informed decisions about different tools and plant on the market.
