What We Installed
Our crew delivered a complete, utility-ready temporary power solution designed for jobsite reliability and electrical safety. The installation included all components required by the utility and local authority having jurisdiction for an overhead service connection.
- Extra-tall temporary power pole properly set and braced for stability
- Meter/panel combination unit rated for temporary overhead service
- Weatherhead and riser for service-entrance protection
- Service cable to the weatherhead with a clean, utility-ready drop loop
- Grounding system with a driven ground rod and secure bonding
- One 20-amp receptacle located on the post for convenient site power
We maintained required clearances for overhead conductors—minimum 12 feet above grade and 20 feet of clearance over roads—so the utility could make a safe, timely connection.
Permitting, Utility Coordination, and Inspection
To keep the project moving smoothly, we managed the full process from start to finish:
- Coordinated the work order with the power company for overhead temporary service
- Pulled the appropriate county electrical permit
- Installed and labeled equipment to code and utility specifications
- Arranged and passed the required inspection
This end-to-end approach minimizes delays and ensures the site is safe and compliant before energization.
Built for Jobsite Demands
Temporary power poles are essential for new builds, renovations, and site prep. This setup provides reliable power for tools, lighting, pumps, and trailers while protecting equipment from weather and keeping conductors properly supported. By using a combined meter/panel assembly with a clearly accessible 20-amp receptacle, the site has a practical and code-compliant power source ready for daily use.
