Concord Temp Power Rentals

Temp services, towable generators and night lighting for Concord industrial sites, station-area housing and early work on the former Naval Weapons Station land.

Where Concord construction happens

Concord is the largest city in Contra Costa County, and its construction is spread out. Industrial and commercial work lines the Highway 4 and I-680 corridors: warehouses, contractor yards, auto and retail buildings. Downtown and near the Concord and North Concord BART stations, apartment and mixed-use projects go up on smaller lots with neighbors close by.

The former Concord Naval Weapons Station is the long-range piece. The city has been planning reuse of the inland part of the base for years, and the schedule has shifted more than once, so check the current status with the City of Concord before you plan around it. Early work on a site that size usually means grading, utility trenching and roads, which run on generators and light towers well before anyone can order a metered pole.

A standard Concord job follows the same steps as the rest of our area. We size the service from the load list, file the permit with the city, set the pole in a day and wait on PG&E for the meter, which usually takes two to four weeks from filing. Central county summers run hot, so trailer cooling goes on the load list from June on.

Concord equipment that gets the most use

Three-phase for a corridor warehouse

A distribution building or contractor shop off Highway 4 often needs 400A three-phase for welders, a lift and the trailers. We set 400 amp services for Concord industrial lots, file with the city and PG&E, and pull the pole once the switchgear is live.

Generators for grading and trenching

Mass grading and utility crews often work far from any line they can tap. Towable diesels run the trailer compound, dewatering pumps and lights, and our off-grid generators for grading crews come with a fuel schedule set by actual run hours.

Lighting for night lane closures

Utility tie-ins and road work near busy streets are often scheduled after dark. Diesel towers cover a long work zone, and we place light towers for after-dark roadwork so the beams stay out of drivers’ eyes.

Concord permits, county land and air rules

Inside city limits, the City of Concord building division issues the temporary electrical permit and sends the inspector. Unincorporated pockets around Concord go to Contra Costa County. On large master-planned sites the developer may add its own approval steps, so ask the project team what applies before the install date.

Big diesels running for months on a grading job may need a BAAQMD permit, and we check whether one applies to the unit and the rental length before it ships. If a pole, cable run or tower has to sit in the street or on the sidewalk, ask the city whether that needs its own encroachment approval.

Concord pricing ranges

Concord single-phase poles at 100A to 200A usually fall between $1,800 and $4,500. Industrial jobs on 400A three-phase should plan on $6,000 to $14,000 or more. Budget around $1,500 to $3,000 weekly for a 100 to 150kW generator before fuel, and $350 to $700 weekly per tower. PG&E fees arrive on their own bill.

Questions from Concord builders

Can a grading crew get power before there is a pole?

Yes. On raw land we size a towable diesel for the trailers and pumps, then switch the site to a metered pole once PG&E can serve it.

Do you work near the Concord BART stations?

Yes. Station-area lots are tight, so we plan the pole spot and any underground run around neighbors, deliveries and the sidewalk.

Is Concord too far from Fremont for service calls?

No. We group Concord visits into route days and keep the same crew on the job from install to removal, Monday through Saturday.
