Touchstone Electric recently completed a temporary construction power pole removal and code-compliant service disconnect for a residential project in Winston-Salem, NC. This job was handled by our Charlotte business unit, serving the Triad from our Matthews branch, and was completed on June 18, 2025 by technician Jared Mata for Paul Davis Restoration of Charlotte.
When a build or renovation reaches permanent power readiness, removing the temporary pole and related grounding equipment is essential for safety, compliance, and site cleanup. Our team ensured the service was safely de-energized and the temporary system fully removed to leave the property ready for its next phase.
What We Did on This Project
- Verified the temporary setup and confirmed safe conditions for a proper service disconnect.
- Removed the temporary construction power pole and associated hardware.
- Extracted and properly handled the grounding rods and bonding conductors tied to the temporary system.
- Ensured a clean, orderly work area and confirmed the temporary service could not be re-energized.
- Documented the completion details for the contractor’s records.
Our procedures follow current electrical best practices to keep the site safe and aligned with applicable code standards for temporary service removal and disconnects.
Why Timely Removal Matters
- Safety: Out-of-service poles, panels, and grounding components can pose shock and trip hazards if left in place.
- Compliance: Clearing temporary power helps ensure the site meets local and national electrical requirements as permanent service takes over.
- Site Readiness: Removing temporary equipment opens space for final grading, landscaping, and exterior finishes.
- Professional Closeout: Proper documentation and cleanup help contractors wrap projects smoothly.
