LYNCH AND HS2 'FIRSTS'

First Hybrid Excavator delivered to HS2

22T Kobelco Stage 4 Hybrid Excavator

• First Stage 4 Hybrid on the project
• 90% reduction of harmful emissions
• 20% reduction on fuel usage
• 8% Load Volume increase per hour

First Full Electric Excavator to HS2

Lynch are proud to have supplied the very first Full Electric Excavator to HS2. This excavator has improved the working conditions within an enclosed area by eliminating the emissions and toxins usually released by an equivalent diesel unit. An exciting innovation and the first of many full electric excavators we are certain to see on the project as the variety of plant becomes larger.

• 100% reduction in emissions
• Six hour operation time
• Zero Vibration
• Reduced Operational Noise

Leading the way on data support

Lynch is leading the way with data support. Using our telematics systems we have been checking our HS2 sites for a number of months in order to capture their emission figures and so help further reduce on site pollution.

The extract below from Jason Bicknell, CSJV LEAN Practitioner acknowledges these efforts:

"The Lynch team arranged and attended meetings on site which included their Operations Business Analyst Emery Roosburg who very quickly understood our requirements. Lynch was able to provide a suite of information over varying time periods. They were also very responsive to data requests and adapted their standard reports to suit our needs a number of times throughout the project. Lynch seems to be at the forefront of this new technology"
