Temporary power solutions for construction sites and facilities

Whether you need power on a construction site before permanent service is live or interim power to keep your facility running during a planned shutdown, Kraun has the equipment and expertise to keep your project moving.  

Why temporary power matters 

When power stops, work stops.

On construction sites, temporary power delays leave trades idle, schedules slipping. This costs the general contractor. In facilities, planned shutdowns and electrical emergencies can disrupt operations, affect tenants and staff, and pose real safety risks. 

What temporary power gives you:

  • Continued work while permanent electrical service is unavailable
  • Maintained critical operations during shutdowns, repairs and outages
  • Quick deployment with temporary power bins or engineered systems
  • Scaled needs met from short-term site power to longer-duration temporary distribution

Our temporary power services 

We have the right solution. 

Power Bins

Construction sites and facilities need power fast, so Kraun’s own power bins are ready to deploy. These self-contained temporary power distribution units can be on site quickly — giving your trades the outlets, circuits, and capacity they need to keep working. At the same time, permanent electrical service is being installed. 

Power bins are ideal for:

  • Early-stage construction for trades before permanent service 
  • Renovation projects for temporary circuits in occupied facilities 
  • Events and temporary structures for accessible outside power 
  • Short-duration work, like maintenance windows and planned outages 

Engineered Solutions

For projects that need temporary power for extended periods or have more complex load requirements, Kraun works with you to design and provide the right solution. This might involve larger distribution equipment, generator connections, load management planning, or a phased approach as permanent power comes online. 

These solutions are suited for:

  • Major construction projects with extended timelines 
  • Facility turnarounds and extended shutdown periods 
  • Emergency power situations requiring interim capacity 
  • Multi-phase projects where temporary power requirements evolve
