residential temporary power poles

Ok. The attached pics (worth a 1000 words) are obvious of the serious problems.
Question(s):
1. Can you show me pictures of your requirements in your jurisdiction?
2. Do you charge for setting your temp power pole and repair thereof?
3. Does your POCO or utility company have requirements (any links?)
4. Addtional suggestions?

Around here I've seen more portable generators than temporary power poles.
But I don't do residential enough to really look and see what is used.

Our utility would have never connected power to any of them except for maybe picture #4.

eHunter, thanks for the georgia power blue book(s). Currently in North Texas we are using Xcel energy and their 2013 blue book.

We have temp power inspections. I can't imagine how anybody would pass a RT panel face up, or even expect it to be connected.

Stupid is as stupid does.:happysad:

What you are seeing is the aftermath of the jerks that work on the job site. In Florida they are inspected by the AHJ just like any other service. Permenate/temp services are also allowed. That's the permenate service fired up with only a very few breakers installed for construction. I don't like them. Very unsafe and abused. They are used in megga housing to run the A/C during construction that takes two years to build to keep the woodworking from warping. Commercial jobs also.

Actually they were standing at the beginning. During the course of contruction they get struck, knockdown, & run over. Of course that only compounds the problem.
Article 590 particularly 590.4 A thru J coupled with the Utilities Blue Book shall
enlighten us. (?)

I agree, Cavie!
