Pipeline right-of-way work and remote wellhead sites share a common constraint that shapes almost every equipment decision: there's usually no grid power anywhere nearby.
Where a construction site in a town might have mains power as an option, a remote wellhead or a pipeline right-of-way crossing open country typically doesn't. Battery-only operation isn't a backup plan here — it's the primary requirement, which makes runtime and battery-swap logistics a bigger planning factor than they'd be on a grid-connected site.
A tower that accepts multiple battery packs extends effective runtime by rotating in charged packs from a field staging point, rather than depending on a single pack's runtime per shift. See our battery lifecycle guide for how pack rotation and charge planning fit together over a longer deployment.
Remote sites are often reached by rough tracks or on foot for the final stretch — equipment weight and single-person deployability matter more here than on a site with vehicle access right up to the work area. A lighter tower that one person can carry the last distance and set up without assistance removes a genuine logistical bottleneck.
Remote wellhead sites often need continuous monitoring equipment running as well as lighting — a device power platform can run this equipment off the same battery ecosystem, avoiding a second, separate power solution for non-lighting field electronics.
The LI-500 runs fully on battery packs, taking up to three LI-24-500 packs for extended runtime. The LI-TC-300 runs wellhead monitoring equipment off the same battery ecosystem. See our Oil & Gas industry guide for more.
Most remote wellhead and pipeline right-of-way sites have no grid access at all, so battery operation isn't a backup — it's the baseline requirement.

Yes — a device power platform like the LI-TC-300 can run wellhead monitoring equipment off the same battery packs used for lighting.
