Machinery Hire for Solar & Renewable Energy Projects

The scale of modern solar and renewable energy developments means that seemingly straightforward groundworks can involve very large areas.

Construction traffic, cable installation and earthworks can leave soil compacted and disturbed, while stones and subsoil may be brought to the surface. Before areas can be successfully returned to grass, further preparation may therefore be necessary.

AMTEC Hire provides specialist machinery capable of covering these larger areas efficiently.

Cultivation equipment can loosen compacted ground and prepare disturbed soil for reinstatement. Where stones have been brought to the surface, mechanical stone pickers can remove them before final preparation and seeding.

Seed drills and specialist seeding equipment can then be used to establish grass and vegetation across the site, with rollers providing final consolidation where required.

Our equipment can also support the construction phase, with high-capacity water bowsers available for dust suppression on access routes and working areas during dry conditions.

Solar projects are a particularly good example of where machinery hire can make sense. Contractors may require specialist agricultural-style equipment for several weeks during construction or reinstatement but have little requirement for it between projects.

Hiring provides access to suitable machinery when required without the capital cost, storage and maintenance associated with ownership.
