Define the bridge period
Describe the reason for temporary capacity, target start, expected duration, required output and pressure. Include normal load, peak load and contingency requirements. Equipment availability, response times and rental rates need supplier confirmation; no rental fleet is represented here.
Make the site ready
Confirm access, lifting, laydown space, connections, power, water, fuel, drainage and stack arrangement. Alberta weather adds freeze protection and enclosure questions. Allocate responsibilities for installation, operation, commissioning and removal.
Do not skip acceptance
Temporary equipment is not automatically exempt from Alberta requirements. Confirm registration, inspection permits, operator requirements and applicable installation approvals before use, particularly when importing or moving equipment.
