RV Park Pedestals for Houston Area Buildings
RV pedestals look simple on a spec sheet and fail utility inspection for the same three reasons every time — the grounding electrode conductor is wrong, the NEMA configuration on the receptacle is wrong for the rated duty cycle, or the bonding jumpers at the pedestal and the service disconnect are missing. Solivance Electric installs pedestal arrays for RV parks, mobile-home parks, and temporary jobsite services across Greater Houston. Trenching, proper ground rods, weather-rated NEMA 3R enclosures, correct receptacle selection (14-50 for 50A, TT-30 for 30A), and utility coordination with CenterPoint or the local co-op.
30A, 50A, and 100A pedestal arrays for RV parks, mobile-home parks, and temp-service jobsites. Grounding, bonding, and inspection — the first walk.
What's included
- RV park and mobile-home park pedestal arrays
- Temporary service pedestals for jobsites
- 30A / 50A / 100A receptacle configurations
- Grounding, bonding, and utility inspection pass-through
“I definitely recommend Solivance Electric to anyone looking for a great, honest electrician. I cannot say enough good things about this company. After being without power for two days after Hurricane Beryl, we reached out wanting a generator interlock installed. Solivance Electric came out that very same day — they had worked through the night to get to everyone else needing the same. They made it clear they were prioritizing homes with children and pets. Aside from the interlock, they found other issues in the panel that could have caused a fire. These are my go-to guys from here on.”
How it works
Lot count, receptacle mix (30A vs 50A vs 100A), feeder sizing per NEC 551, and the service entrance sizing to handle the demand factor.
Directional-bore or open-trench per site conditions. Ground rods driven at each pedestal. Conduit sized for pull length and derating.
NEMA 3R pedestals, receptacle selection verified against NEMA config, bonding jumpers visible and labeled. Meter sockets installed for individually-metered arrays.
What shapes the project
Pedestal count and the distance from the service entrance drive most of it — the long underground runs and trenching are where the scope lives. Receptacle mix (30A/50A/100A), whether the array is individually metered, and whether a mobile-home-park service is involved set the rest. Quoted per pedestal after a site walk.
Timeline
A single jobsite temp-service pedestal is a 1-day install. Small RV park arrays (5–15 pedestals) run 1–2 weeks on site including trenching and panelboard. Large park builds (30+ pedestals with metering and submetering) run 4–8 weeks. Utility inspection timing sits on top.
Code & permits
RV park electrical installations are governed by NEC Article 551 (recreational vehicles and parks). Demand factors for multi-site feeder sizing, receptacle configuration, grounding, and bonding all live in that article. Mobile-home park installs fall under NEC 552. Temporary jobsite pedestals fall under NEC 590. Weather-rated enclosures are NEMA 3R minimum.
