All of these can be built to client wishes. HICE can provide client requirements to ensure a safe execution of a cable project.
HICE and sustainability
For years we have been very aware of the climate change, but also of the finiteness of fossil fuels. That’s why we made a conscious decision to work as sustainable and efficient as possible. We installed solar panels, solar water heaters, wood chip heaters and our own windmill! The combination of these sustainable energy sources ensure that we are 85% self-sufficient in our annual energy consumption!
