Large Energy User Initiative of the Year
New Zealand Energy Excellence Awards 2018
City Rail Link aims to set the benchmark for delivering sustainable infrastructure in New Zealand. The project has established a carbon foot printing programme on its first two contract packages to identify opportunities and actions for reducing energy emissions. From replacing diesel generators with grid-connected transformers to training haulage drivers in fuel-efficient techniques, CRL’s initiatives are expected to reduce energy emissions by over 2,000 tonnes – a 29% reduction project is on target to achieve its goals, while also reducing costs and saving time.
