How a Power Pole Installation is executed?

A power pole installation is indeed a complex electrical task and requires the services of a Level 2 electrical service provider. Here below are the steps involved in a typical power pole installation:

• In order to dig a 1300mm hole for the TBS (Temporary Builder's Supply), a clear ‘right to use’ the site is required. Your local energy distribution company will not power the TBS unless 3 firm stays are present at 120° intervals.
• About 2 metres should be the radius of the stays. Within your property’s boundary the pole and 3 stays must be situated and the service wire coming from your local energy supplier’s street pole that connects to the TBS should not pass over a neighbour’s property.
• The installation and removal process of poles can be delayed because of non-accessibility to the sites due to wet weather.
• On the location, spot and mark the preferred position of the pole (generally tight right or the left hand side) with a stake or marker paint to assist avoiding underground services such as water, gas and phone.
• The future points of connection to the property, the closest local energy supplier’s pole and to keep away from any adjacent property limit passing over are among the other points that need to be considered.
• Around the TBS there is a 3 metre ‘prohibiting zone’. A safety recommendation should be acquired by contacting your local energy distribution company through phone if any worker, scaffold, roof line or any part of the building wants to be inside the ‘prohibiting zone’. Usually, the scrutiny and written recommendation takes somewhere between five to ten working days.
  
• An account ought to be opened either by the builder or the home owner with an electricity retailer and supervisors require ensuring the electrician has submitted a EWR (Electrical Work Request) to the local energy distribution company for the final connection.
• The final connection work to the premises will be executed within 5 days once your local energy distribution company receives both pieces of information.
• When the wires are removed from the TBS, supervisors will require notifying poles and holes and we will off hire and gather the pole. In order to remove the pole at the end of the job, we will require access to the site (e.g. fences, landscaping etc.).

When it is Time for Power Pole Repairs?

Electric power poles are the ubiquitous iron or wood columns that we see all over in cities and rural areas. These sturdy poles are carrier of high-tension electrical energy that is finally supplied to individual homes, factories and other places. In addition to public distribution of power, other applications of power poles include provisional poles put up at building sites and lightning poles in private properties, especially commercial properties. Types of power poles include those made from timber and galvanised steel as well as ‘A’ poles.

Here we want to inform about the safety methods connected with power poles and why it is necessary to call for power pole repairs. Despite standing on strong base and their apparent stability, power poles sometimes are damaged due to a number of reasons both man-made and natural. Those include vehicular collisions, riots and arson, powerful winds, storms and earthquakes, and the deterioration owing to the elements.

Under the above conditions, power poles are possibly the most hazardous things on the earth. Disaster never comes by asking. The damaged, faulty or deteriorated poles have the potential to inflict high voltage lethal current and to start fires. The first thing a person must do is to call the electricity supplier to cut the power. The supplier will then assess the damage and call their contractors for power pole repairs and /or replacement.

We think if one is vigilant, lots of lives and property damage could be averted. Whenever or wherever you see a bent, broken, corroded and faulty power pole or hanging overhead wires, it is the right time to call the nearest electrical company or service provider for immediate repairs or even power pole replacement. There is no need to emphasis that prevention is better than cure.
