Fountainebleau Porta Pros arranges temporary power pole setups for job sites that need electrical service before permanent utility hookup exists. A standard construction spread runs 200 amp temporary service, coordinated with your electrician and the local utility. Pair it with temporary fence rental and light tower rental to round out the site.
A temporary power pole, sometimes called a spider box pole or construction pole, is a freestanding structure that carries metered electrical service to a job site before the building has permanent power. It holds a meter socket, a breaker panel, and outlets rated for construction tools and trailers. Most sites in Fountainebleau run these next to the mobile office trailer rental or near a storage container rental so cords stay short. The pole itself does not generate power; it is a distribution point the utility company connects to. We do not sell or install the pole itself, but we coordinate scheduling around it when you are also renting a restroom trailer rental, temporary fence rental, or portable toilet rental for the same site. A temporary power pole diagram from your electrician typically shows the meter base, disconnect, grounding rod, and conduit run, and the utility inspects that layout before energizing service.
Installation cost depends on amperage, distance from the utility line, and whether trenching is needed, and it is set by your electrician, not by Fountainebleau Porta Pros. A 200 amp temporary power pole for a construction site generally needs a permit, an inspection, and a grounding system that meets code before the utility will energize it. Requirements vary by jurisdiction, and Fountainebleau permit specifics were not verified for this page, so confirm exact rules with the city before scheduling your electrician. What we can tell you: OSHA 1926.404(b)(1)(ii) requires ground fault circuit interrupter protection on construction sites, which applies to the outlets your crew plugs into off that pole. If your project also needs sanitation planning, see OSHA Portable Toilet Requirements and how many porta potties do i need for crew-size math under OSHA 1926.51(c)(1).
Installing a temporary power pole usually takes one to two days once permits and utility scheduling clear, though utility backlogs can stretch that out. Coordinate the pole installer's timeline with your delivery windows for construction dumpster rental and roll-off dumpster rental, since a rollout truck needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind it and dropping a dumpster near an unfinished pole run creates a scheduling headache. Fountainebleau sites near Westchester, about 3.0 miles south, and Sweetwater, about 3.5 miles west, often deal with the same utility crews, so lead time can shift depending on demand in those corridors. We recommend locking in your temporary fence rental and portable restroom rental dates once the pole timeline firms up, so the whole site opens on schedule. For active job sites, review construction site services and dumpster permit requirements together, since permitting questions tend to overlap.
No. We handle portable sanitation, dumpsters, fencing, and storage for the job site. Your licensed electrician installs and permits the pole. We do coordinate delivery timing for portable toilet rental and temporary fence rental around your power timeline so nothing sits idle.
Many general contractors spec 200 amp temporary service for mid-size builds, though smaller renovation jobs may need less. Ask your electrician to size it against your tool load and any light tower rental units running at night.
Yes. Portable restroom rental and temporary fence rental units do not need electrical service to function, so they can arrive first. Deluxe units with lighting are the exception; ask about options at deluxe flushable porta potty.
Permit rules differ by project and were not verified for Fountainebleau specifically, so confirm with the city building department before your electrician schedules inspection. See dumpster permit requirements for how permitting questions get handled on adjacent equipment.
