A temporary power pole is the code-required setup that gives a construction site 200 amp service before permanent utility hookup exists. South Fulton Porta Pros coordinates delivery and staging around your site plan, but the pole itself, its inspection and its utility connection run through the utility company and the local electrical permit process, not through a sanitation or dumpster vendor.
Contractors call it a spider box, a temporary service pole, or just "temp power." It is a freestanding pole with a meter base, breaker panel and outlets, built so a job site has power before the building itself is wired. Most residential and light commercial jobs spec 200 amp temporary power pole service, sized to run saws, lights and small equipment during framing and finishing. This is not something South Fulton Porta Pros installs or rents. We are not an electrical contractor, and the pole, the permit, and the utility inspection all fall to a licensed electrician and the power company. What we do sit next to on a job site is everything else: the construction site services around it, including standard porta potty rental, temporary fence rental and roll-off dumpster rental. If your site plan needs a diagram showing where the pole, the fence line and the restroom all land, that layout question is worth asking your electrician and your GC together, since clearance and access matter for more than one trade.
Temporary power pole installation is licensed electrical work, permitted separately from site sanitation or waste equipment. An electrician sets the pole, wires the panel, and schedules inspection; the utility then makes the final connection. South Fulton Porta Pros stays in its lane here. Where we help is site logistics: making sure delivery trucks for a portable toilet rental or a 10 yard dumpster rental have clear access without crossing conduit runs or staging areas the electrician has marked off. A roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so if the pole and panel sit anywhere near that path, coordinate placement before delivery day, not after. Same logic applies to temporary fence rental lines and light tower rental placement, which often gets powered off that same temp pole once it is live. For South Fulton sites running tight timelines, get the electrical rough-in scheduled first, then slot the rest of the equipment around it.
We do not sell or price temporary power pole installation, so we cannot quote it here. Costs for that kind of licensed electrical work are set by your electrician and the permitting authority, not by a sanitation and site services company. What we can lay out is what we do price, which covers everything else on a South Fulton job site:
| service | duration | typical price |
|---|---|---|
| standard portable toilet | week | $200 |
| ADA accessible unit | week | $185 |
| roll-off dumpster | week | $600 |
| temporary fence | day | $50 |
Use request a quote for firm numbers on any of these, or check porta potty rental cost and dumpster rental cost for a fuller breakdown by size and duration.
No. We handle portable sanitation, dumpsters, fencing, storage and restroom trailers, not electrical service. For the pole itself, hire a licensed electrician and confirm the permit and inspection steps with the local building department before your crew starts framing.
Most residential and light commercial jobs run on 200 amp temporary power pole service, which covers standard saws, lighting and small tools. Larger commercial sites sometimes need higher capacity; your electrician sizes that based on the equipment list and phase of work.
We can advise on restroom and fencing placement once your electrician has staked the pole location. See porta potty placement guide for spacing and access guidance that works around an existing electrical layout.
Electrical permitting and utility scheduling can take longer than sanitation or dumpster delivery, so lock in your electrician first. Once that date is set, construction site services like restrooms and roll-offs are easy to slot in around it.
