Diesel generators for construction sites
Before choosing a generator for your job site, identify the tools to power, operating hours and electrical distribution arrangements.
Discuss my project
Power planned around the work ahead
Pumping and lighting
Separate regular loads from equipment that starts intermittently. Specify lighting and dewatering needs.
Temporary facilities
Add site trailers and their equipment to the inventory. Have project distribution, protection and connections confirmed.
Occasional backup or the site’s main power source?
These uses cannot be selected on kW alone. Daily operating hours, load variation and site conditions guide selection of the generator and its duty rating. A standby model should not be assumed suitable for prolonged daily work.
Information to prepare
- Inventory of tools, pumps and temporary facilities
- Expected operating hours per day
- Required voltages, phases and connection types
- Expected relocation, handling and placement
Questions about your project
Is an open generator suitable for my job site?
The choice depends on exposure, noise conditions and installation arrangements. Required protection and the exact configuration must be confirmed.
Is electrical distribution included?
The scope must be specified: generator, connections, panels, cables and work should not be assumed included without confirmation.
