What Are the Key Components of a Construction Site Power System?
As we continue in February and your construction project is in full swing. As a project manager, reliable power is essential to keeping your schedules and budgets on track. But what actually makes up the power system that keeps your job site humming? Here are 3 key components:
Temporary Power Panels - These distribute electricity on site safely and efficiently. Different areas like offices, equipment charging stations, lighting setups, etc. can plug into the same temporary power panel system. Proper planning of panel capacity and placement is crucial.
Generators - These kick in with backup power when utility feeds are interrupted or extra demand exceeds capacity. Sizing generators correctly for your projected power draw prevents damaging tripping offline or even safety issues. Fuel must be maintained as well.
Cables and Wiring - Safely routing cables and wires prevents damage and electrocution hazards. Using thick enough gauge wires prevents fire risks from overheating. Proper grounding is a must. Waterproof connections are key in outdoor job site conditions.
