Diesel generators are a common sight on construction sites throughout Australia. Many construction companies choose to hire a generator to deliver sufficient, reliable power generation in the early stages of construction when no grid connection is available.
Portable diesel generators are easy to hire and transport to construction sites. They are very robust and affordable to run and can provide enough capacity for any project, although multiple generators may be required for exceptionally large projects with extensive power generation requirements.
When you hire a generator, all the maintenance, transportation and setup requirements are met by a specialized team of technicians from your supplier. They will help you select the correct generator for your project, ensure it arrives on-site on time, and ensure it is set up correctly to safely supply power for all your site’s needs.
These machines can provide power to a wide range of equipment, including jackhammers, pumps, and drills as well as temporary office modules, computers, site lighting, and site security. They can also be used to recharge battery-powered items, power ventilation systems and any other electrical equipment your site may require.
A diesel generator is powerful enough to be a primary source of power generation on a construction site, but many companies use these machines for the duration of the project to supply power in the event of a blackout. Loss of power can cause serious and costly project delays, so having a diesel generator on-site provides valuable peace of mind.
How to Select the Right Generator
When you hire a generator, the team at your supplier will help determine the right generator for your needs. However, every project is different in terms of scope and complexity, so it is important to have a brief for your supplier that will clarify how powerful your generator will have to be. This should include an assessment of what types of equipment will require power generation and take into account that some equipment requires a high level of power to start although it may have a low running requirement. This may mean adding a buffer (choosing a slightly more powerful generator) to accommodate surges in power generation requirements.
Diesel generators are widely preferred for use on construction sites as they are easy to transport, set up and run, and fuel is widely available. Your supplier can guide you as to how much fuel you should keep on-site to run the generator, but it is important to store this fuel safely and securely to ensure safety on-site and reduce the risk of fuel theft.
