Setting Up a New Construction Site in Ireland: How MW Hire Group Can Help

Starting a new construction site comes with a long checklist — power, welfare, accommodation, safety, compliance, and cost control all need to be addressed from day one. At MW Hire Group, we specialize in providing complete site setup solutions across Ireland, helping contractors get up and running quickly, safely, and efficiently.

Whether you’re breaking ground on a small project or mobilizing a large-scale development, our hire and sales fleet (new and used) allows us to tailor solutions that suit your Programme and your budget.

Complete Site Accommodation & Welfare Solutions

Proper site accommodation is not just a convenience — it’s a legal and operational requirement. We supply a full range of site accommodation and welfare units designed to support productivity, comfort, and compliance.

Our accommodation solutions include:

• Site offices for management and administration
• Canteen units for breaks and meal areas
• Welfare units with toilets, washing facilities, rest areas, and first aid space
• Drying rooms to keep PPE warm and dry during Irish winter conditions
• Storage containers for tools, materials, and equipment

Available in multiple sizes, our units can be supplied as new or ex-hire sale stock, offering cost-effective options for every project. All units are designed for quick installation and easy relocation as your site evolves.

Reliable Power for Your Site: Generators & Battery Banks

Power is the backbone of every construction site. From lighting and tools to welfare units and offices, having a reliable energy supply is critical — especially in the early stages of a project.

Diesel Generators

MW Hire Group supplies a wide range of diesel generators for hire and sale, suitable for everything from small standalone units to large multi-unit site compounds. Our generators are:

• Fuel-efficient and reliable
• Suitable for continuous or standby power
• Available with distribution boards and cabling for fast setup

Generators remain a practical solution for high-load applications and sites with limited grid access.

Battery Energy Storage: Reducing Fuel Use & Running Costs

To help contractors reduce fuel consumption and emissions, we also provide battery energy storage systems (battery banks) that can be used alongside generators or as standalone power sources.

How Battery Banks Keep Costs Down

Using battery banks as part of your site power setup can significantly reduce operating costs:

• Lower fuel usage — generators run less frequently
• Reduced servicing and maintenance due to fewer generator run hours
• Lower emissions and noise, ideal for urban or environmentally sensitive sites
• Efficient out-of-hours power for welfare units, lighting, and offices

A hybrid generator and battery bank setup allows the generator to charge the batteries during peak demand, while the batteries supply power during low-load periods. This smart energy approach can lead to substantial fuel savings over the life of a project.

Smarter Site Setups with Integrated Solutions

By combining site accommodation, generators, and battery banks, MW Hire Group helps contractors create efficient, future-ready site compounds. Our team can assess your power requirements and recommend the most cost-effective setup based on:

• Site size and duration
• Load requirements
• Environmental and noise restrictions
• Budget and sustainability targets

With hire and sale options available across our fleet, we offer flexibility without compromise.

Premium Rental Fleet to Meet All Site Requirements

In addition to accommodation and power solutions, MW Hire Group offers a premium rental fleet of construction plant and site equipment, allowing contractors to source everything they need from one trusted supplier. Our modern, well-maintained fleet is designed to meet the demands of projects of all sizes while supporting safety, efficiency, and programme delivery.

Our rental fleet includes:

• Telehandlers for material handling and site logistics
• Excavators suitable for groundworks, drainage, and civils projects
• Dumpers and rollers to support efficient earthmoving and compaction
• Access equipment to safely work at height across multiple site applications
• Lighting solutions, including mobile and low-emission options, to maintain productivity during short winter daylight hours
• Wheel wash systems to help control mud, maintain clean road access, and meet environmental and local authority requirements

By combining our plant hire fleet with site accommodation, welfare, and power solutions, we help contractors simplify procurement, reduce downtime, and ensure their site is fully compliant from day one.
