Temporary Power for Construction Job Site in Milwaukee, WI
As construction prepared to begin on a project in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the general contractor did not yet have access to permanent utility power. To support daily operations at the job site, the contractor contacted Garrett McKenzie to provide temporary generator power for a job trailer and supporting equipment.
The Situation
Before utilities were installed, the construction team required reliable power to support a job trailer used for planning, coordination, and daily operations. Power was needed for lighting, heating, and basic equipment during the early phases of the project.
With no on site power available and winter conditions approaching, the contractor needed a temporary power solution that could operate consistently while permanent utilities were completed.
The Response
Garrett McKenzie reviewed the project requirements and developed a temporary power plan that included a generator and fuel cell suited for long term use. Delivery timing and placement were coordinated with the construction team so the equipment could be installed efficiently.
Once on site, a GM technician reviewed basic operating procedures with the contractor and confirmed service and fueling schedules.
The Execution
The generator and supporting equipment were delivered along with other rental items. The generator was positioned near the job trailer and connected by an electrician, while the fuel cell was staged nearby to support extended runtime.
Throughout the project, Garrett McKenzie handled regular fueling and preventive maintenance. Technicians visited the site as needed to support ongoing operations and keep power available during working hours.
The Result
The job trailer remained powered and heated throughout the early stages of construction. Lighting and equipment operated as planned, allowing the project team to work efficiently while permanent utilities were completed.
The temporary power setup provided a simple and dependable solution that supported daily operations during the coldest months of the year.
