The electrical compressor, E-Air V1100, fulfills the contractors high expectations for cost and CO2 savings
Subcontractors on working sites must adapt to tough conditions in both financial and environmental aspects. No wonder this Norwegian drilling company are shifting to cost efficient, silent and low-emission electric machines.
We want to be part of the shift to more sustainable products and at the same time E-Air provides lots of air power for the money.
Langenga: Real estate developer Conceptor Bolig AS
Since E-Air V1100 is frequency regulated, it is more silent than ordinary compressors.
Brødrene Myhre started in 1976 and is a well experienced team with approximately thirty employees. When the company was assigned as a subcontractor for the Langenga real estate project, it was a perfect match for the powerful electrical driven compressor, due to all the drilling needed for the foundation in the solid bedrock. Since the mid-1980’s Atlas Copco is one of the company’s suppliers of construction equipment, and for this project Atlas Copco’s largest E-Air compressor, the V1100, was best suited both in terms of air flow but also in terms of minimum noise.
Company: Brødrene Myhre
Size of company: approximately 30 employees
Location: Jevnaker, Norge
Type of business: drill air company, wells, energy and foundation drilling, specialist drilling
At the moment we have challenges with the grid on the working sites, to get enough electricity to the machines which are adapted to the tougher environmental standards. Therefore we are investigating new ways of supporting and charging them, where the energy storage system ZenergiZe from Atlas Copco is one interesting option.
