Acciona and Canvasman – Protecting Machinery, Protecting the Planet

Acciona, a global leader in sustainable infrastructure and renewable energy, is committed to addressing critical global challenges such as climate change and resource scarcity. With a strong emphasis on sustainability and innovation, the company continuously seeks solutions to ensure its operations have minimal environmental impact.

One such challenge arose in protecting large, expensive machinery stored dockside at Tilbury Docks. Exposure to harsh environmental conditions, including moisture, salt air, and extreme temperatures, posed risks to these vital pieces of equipment. To tackle this, Acciona turned to Canvasman, a trusted provider of bespoke, high-quality covers.

The Challenge

Acciona needed robust, durable covers that could shield their machinery from environmental impacts while allowing the equipment to breathe, preventing corrosion and moisture build-up. Given the large size of their equipment, the covers needed to be easy to install, facilitate regular inspections and include features for crane lifting during transportation. Additionally, the covers also had to align with their commitment to sustainability by being long-lasting and fit for purpose.

The Solution

Canvasman collaborated closely with Acciona to design and produce custom-made covers that met all requirements. The covers are not only tough enough to withstand dockside conditions but are also designed to facilitate air circulation, ensuring the equipment remains in optimal condition while stored outdoors.

Partnership Success

The partnership between Canvasman and Acciona exemplified teamwork and innovation – it was a joy to work with John and his team. Both companies shared a commitment to quality and sustainability, enabling them to create an effective solution that met the practical and environmental goals of the project.

Conclusion

The collaboration between Acciona and Canvasman is a testament to the power of partnerships in achieving sustainable solutions. Together, they have ensured the protection of valuable equipment while maintaining a shared commitment to environmental responsibility.
