Pole to Pit Installation
The Shift to Underground Electricity Supply
The traditional overhead electrical service cable installation is becoming outdated. Instead, new construction, renovations, and refurbishments are opting for underground electrical supply via ‘pole to pit’. This not only increases safety in stormy conditions or tree damage but also enhances the visual appeal of the environment.
Tradetech Services Australia (TSA), a leading supplier to the industry, specialises in the efficient installation of underground electrical infrastructure.
The Underground Service Pit Installation Process
Here’s a step-by-step overview of the process:
1. Inspection:
Tradetech Services Australia (TSA) inspects the site to determine the scope of work.
2. Permits and Accreditation**:
TSA obtains necessary permits and certifications from local government agencies and VEDN (Victorian Electrical Distribution Network).
3. Materials:
TSA procures all necessary materials and equipment for the project.
4. Precautions:
A scan of underground assets is performed to prevent damage, and hydro excavation may be used to protect assets and tree roots.
5. Cabling:
Inspections and audits are performed to ensure quality and integrity of the installation.
6. Reinstatement:
TSA reinstates disturbed areas, providing a complete “turnkey” solution.
This process ensures a safe and reliable underground electrical infrastructure installation.
To summarise, the ‘pole to pit’ process requires expertise, the right equipment, accreditation, skilled staff, and attention to detail to ensure the job is done right.
