Jobsite Temporary Electrical Power Restoring Services After Hurricane Idalia

Site Assessment and Selection: Emergency management teams are assessing impacted areas to determine the most suitable locations for setting up temporary power stations. These locations are chosen using factors such as proximity to critical facilities, accessibility, and potential for efficient power distribution.

Station Setup: Once sites are identified, temporary power stations are being transported to affected locations. These stations are equipped with generators, fuel storage tanks, transformers, switchgear, and necessary equipment to generate, control, and distribute electricity.

Power Generation: The heart of a temporary power station are generators. These generators usually diesel-powered and can produce a generous supply of electricity. They’re started quickly to provide immediate power to the affected area.

Distribution Network: The generated power is being distributed using transformers to step up or step down voltage so that electricity is supplied at appropriate levels to different types of facilities and equipment.

Fuel Management and Control:  Monitoring systems are allowing operators to track power output, fuel levels, equipment performance and other critical parameters remotely. This enables quick responses to any issues.

Water and Sewage Treatment: Power is required to operate water treatment and sewage systems. Access to clean water and proper sanitation is crucial for obvious health reasons.

Emergency Services: Police stations, fire departments, and emergency response units are relying on electricity to coordinate their efforts and communicate with each other. Power, where required, enables them to respond swiftly to situations.

Infrastructure Repair: Power tools and equipment are being used for clearing debris, repairing damaged buildings, and restoring infrastructure that relies on stable electricity. These efforts are vital for reopening roads, restoring transportation, and rebuilding communities.

Community Support: Temporary power stations can provide electricity for charging mobile devices, allowing first responders and residents to communicate. Power skids also power community centers where populations gather for essential services.

What’s On Power Stations in Hurricane Recovery Efforts?

All combined, these components form a comprehensive network  to support disaster recovery, infrastructure repair, and essential services.

Custom Mobile Temporary Power Services

The temporary power solutions offered by Relectric can be completely tailored to the requirements of your project. Every Mobile Temporary Power Skid is made of Relectric tested, name-brand components, including a fusible primary disconnect switch, transformer, main breaker panelboard, and circuit breakers. They’re constructed with standardized parts for simplicity. These can be altered to add breakers, outlets, and other accessories relevant to your line of work.

For teams working on a sizable project where moving power sources from one part of the construction site to another is necessary, portable temporary power solutions are ideal. Everything from outdoor festivals and construction sites to crisis scenarios and brief power outages can use portable power devices.

Our mobile skids and portable generators are designed for simple transportation inside the work area, saving you money, time, and space. Power distribution boxes and other supplementary equipment can facilitate the efficient distribution of portable power throughout the jobsite or supply more power directly to the load.

Electrical Equipment Rental and Buyback Program

Using Relectric to power your building site is more convenient for both your employees and your budget. You won’t be forced to buy specialized equipment that will be useless once the task is finished thanks to our rental and buyback program for temporary power solutions.

You can rent electrical equipment for temporary power from Relectric or buy it with a guaranteed repurchase once it’s no longer required, depending on your project’s demands and budget. Each temporary power skid uses standardized components, so your equipment may be disassembled and the materials reused rather than stored or thrown away. By doing this, you can reduce your net costs and spare yourself the stress of having to decide what to do with your used equipment once your job is finished.
