    The Solution

    Results

    "From a site perspective, the Enertainer was a great fit for AMC. We put it through its paces and it responded to everything we threw at it. It was very simple to set up and operate with almost no downtime to site operations. We’re particularly excited about the lower noise levels which will really help us get government approval to continue working at noise-sensitive hours."

    "The Enertainer worked perfectly from the very beginning. Not only did we vastly reduce our CO<sub>2</sub> emissions—a key focus for Gammon—but we did so with a lower OPEX. Even though this was the first time we deployed this technology, the performance data reporting system of the Enertainer gave us confidence. We are very excited about using this technology at other sites in future."
