Omexom has been working on making in-house processes more sustainable for many years. However, its project sites also become more sustainable in all sorts of ways. The reuse of control houses of high-voltage stations is a wonderful case in point. A control house is a concrete structure with the equipment to monitor and operate a field at a high-voltage station.

At station Diemen the control houses were to be removed and pulverised. Instead, Omexom renovated them with enthusiastic agreement from TenneT and used them again at the high-voltage station Goes de Poel.  This project produced two tonnes in CO2 savings and an award. The Omexom project team won the VINCI Energies One Earth Challenge, an internal initiative to put environmentally friendly solutions in the limelight and to use them more widely.
