Volker Fitzpatrick: Reducing Fuel Costs and Carbon Emissions Through Smart Monitoring

Solution

Invisible Systems designed and implemented a tailored fuel monitoring system that was tested through a dedicated project pilot. The system integrated specialist fuel monitoring devices to capture precise consumption data and deliver targeted carbon reporting across specific areas of operation. This data allowed Volker Fitzpatrick to accurately measure the success of each project against fuel reduction targets and financial performance goals.

Results and Impact

Reduced overnight fuel consumption: 89% reduction achieved during the pilot phase.

Reduced weekend fuel consumption: 40% reduction achieved.

Reduced weekly fuel consumption: Up to 34% reduction achieved.

Financial savings: £560 per week saved in fuel costs.

These results provided measurable evidence of the benefits of smart fuel monitoring and established a model that can be replicated across future projects.

Future Direction

With access to reliable and referenceable data, Volker Fitzpatrick can now ensure projects are both cost-effective and environmentally responsible. The company plans to extend fuel monitoring across additional sites, using data insights to drive supply chain improvements and further optimise sustainable construction practices.

Conclusion

Through its collaboration with Invisible Systems, Volker Fitzpatrick has successfully reduced fuel waste, lowered emissions, and achieved significant cost savings. The bespoke monitoring solution provides accurate data, targeted reporting, and clear visibility of fuel performance, helping the company meet its sustainability and operational goals.
