Our Process for Temporary Service in Taylors

For this overhead configuration, we set an extra‑tall pole to achieve correct conductor height, installed the weatherhead and riser, and landed the conductors in a meter/panel combo sized for typical construction loads. We established a robust grounding path with a driven rod and completed all labeling to help ensure a smooth utility tie‑in.
Every step is performed to meet applicable NEC and local utility requirements. We focus on secure terminations, weather‑resistant components, and tidy routing to help minimize nuisance outages and keep the jobsite operating safely throughout the build.
