Power Solutions for Your Construction Site - Temporary Power vs. Generators

One of the biggest tasks on your construction site is getting power. It's one of the first things you'll need to do, as you can't work without power to operate.

There are two power solutions you could use: a generator or temporary power.

But which way should you go?

Below you'll learn about the differences between temporary power and generators, and which one you should use for your construction site.

Temporary Power

What is temporary power?

Temporary power is one power solution you could use during a period of construction.

It often includes setting up equipment such as power poles, wiring, transformers, distribution equipment, switchgear, and meter panels to get enough energy for the trailers and equipment on your job site.

When to use temporary power?

Temporary power is a great solution when you need a lot of power for a limited period of time at your construction site.

If you want to use temporary power, you job should be:

• A limited period of time
• Planned (it can take 1-8 months to get temporary power up and running)

Bottom line?

If you choose the right company to work with, you can't go wrong with temporary power services.

Generators

What are generators?

Generators are used to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. In business, they are often used as backup power in case of emergency. In construction, they can be used to power your whole site.

When to use generators?

Generators are a great power solution for your construction site when you need power quickly.

Generators are mainly used on construction sites when:

• You need power ASAP and don't have a lot of time
• There is no utility power or permanent utility power has not been installed
