Temporary power isn’t just about hooking up a few panels and calling it a day. It’s a critical infrastructure component that enables your construction project to begin, stay on schedule, and operate safely. At FutureGen Consulting Inc., we design temporary power systems that meet your site’s evolving needs—efficiently, safely, and in full compliance with local codes and utility requirements.
Whether it’s a low-rise residential build or a large-scale commercial development, we deliver engineered temporary power designs that work from day one until the final inspection.
What Is Temporary Power—and Why It Matters
Temporary power refers to the electrical system set up on a construction site to power tools, lighting, trailers, hoists, pumps, and other critical equipment during the building phase. Without it, work simply can’t proceed. But not all temporary power setups are the same.
The quality of the design directly affects:
- Safety of workers and equipment
- Inspection approvals and permit timelines
- Utility connection delays
- Overloading or power interruptions
- Cost of rework, fines, or temporary service upgrades
This system is the lifeline of your site—and it needs to be designed with the same care as permanent power systems.
Common Problems We Help You Avoid
Construction teams and contractors often face several pitfalls when dealing with temporary power:
- Improper load calculations, causing frequent tripping or shutdowns
- Undersized feeders and panels that can’t handle growing site demands
- Delayed utility approvals due to missing or non-compliant drawings
- Non-compliant layouts that fail ESA inspections
- Safety hazards due to poor placement or grounding issues
Many contractors rely on the electrician’s site experience to “figure it out” on the go—but this often leads to costly rework, delays, or unsafe installations.
That’s why involving a qualified engineering team early on can save weeks of downtime and thousands of dollars.
How FutureGen Supports You
At FutureGen Consulting Inc., we take a systematic, engineering-first approach to temporary power design.
We don’t just look at today’s needs—we plan for the entire construction timeline, anticipating load increases, equipment upgrades, and staging changes. Our designs are:
- Fully engineered and permit-ready
- Compliant with the Ontario Electrical Safety Code (OESC)
- Coordinated with utility providers like Alectra, Elexicon, Toronto Hydro, Hydro One
- Reviewed to meet ESA inspection criteria
- Built with future flexibility in mind
Our Temporary Power Design Services Include:
- Load calculations based on site equipment and operations
- Transformer and service sizing
- Panelboard, distribution, and breaker selection
- Single line diagram (SLD) of temporary power layout
- Site plan showing power feed routing and major equipment locations
- Grounding and bonding details
- Utility coordination for connection approval
- ESA permit documentation and support
We also support special site conditions like:
- Tower crane or construction hoist connections
- Heated trailers and HVAC loads
- Multiple staging areas with distributed panels
- Temporary lighting plans for safety compliance
Our Process
Here’s how we bring clarity and efficiency to your temporary power needs:
1. Initial Site Review
We start by understanding your site requirements—number of trailers, type of machinery, planned hoists, and construction timeline. We also review existing hydro availability and connection points.
2. Load Planning
Using site-specific data, we perform detailed load calculations for equipment like welders, saws, compressors, heaters, hoists, and pumps. This ensures proper sizing of feeders, panels, and transformer(s).
3. Electrical Layout Design
We then prepare a clean, code-compliant single line diagram showing:
- Main temporary service location
- Distribution panel(s)
- Equipment tie-ins
- Protection devices
- Grounding/bonding systems
This is supported by a site plan layout showing conduit paths and service access zones for the utility and inspectors.
4. Utility Coordination
We prepare all required documentation to submit to your local hydro company. If necessary, we handle back-and-forth technical clarifications and guide you through the approval process.
5. Permit-Ready Submission
You’ll receive sealed, engineered drawings ready for ESA permit application. We can also respond to comments and assist during field inspections as needed.
Who We Serve
FutureGen has worked with:
- Residential builders (detached homes, townhomes, laneway homes)
- Commercial developers (retail plazas, medical offices)
- General contractors and project managers
- Custom home builders
- Industrial facility teams needing temporary shutdown services
No matter the project size, we scale our design accordingly—whether it’s a 100A temporary service or a 1000A construction feeder with multiple panel drops.
Built for Ontario’s Requirements
Our temporary power designs fully align with:
- Ontario Electrical Safety Code (OESC)
- Local hydro utility requirements
- Site-specific safety considerations (e.g., traffic, trenching hazards)
- Temporary service grounding standards
- Overcurrent protection sizing and placement
We ensure that everything is designed not just to pass inspection, but to work seamlessly on-site for weeks or months at a time.
