Olympic Boxes

ecogise was contacted by Richard Young from the NZ Academy of Sport and asked to design and build 3 portable power units for the NZ Academy of Sport to take to sporting events and in particular the 2008 Olympic Games.

  Portable power unit

It is critical that the teams have access to power at sporting events, but they often arrive and find there is no power supply available. These boxes are designed to power laptops and computer equipment, cooling fans, freezers (to store ice vests that are used to regulate body temperature) and power tools for maintenance. Each unit takes approximately two weeks to build from start to finish including the fabrication of the box.

As alternative energy solutionists, this is just another example of what ecogise can produce and we are very proud of the final result.
