Temporary
Builders Poles

/ Things To Consider

• Pole installs require a 900mm deep hole. Having a marked or staked out preferred position for the pole will help us to avoid underground services such as water, gas and phone lines.
• For underground installations we will trench up to 1 metre away from the pit. If you require your pole to be further away, please arrange trenching from the point of required installation back to the pit. Any third-party or equipment costs will be forwarded to you, the client.
• The service cable from the Supply Authority street pole to the temporary supply pole must not cross a neighbouring property. The Supply Authority will not connect to a temporary builders pole unless 2 support stays are installed.
• The radius of the support stays is 2 metres from the base of the pole. The temporary builders pole and 2 support stays must be placed inside the work site property boundary and comply with Energy Safe Victoria's Guidelines. Do not tamper with any part of a pole installation once completed.
• There is a 3 metre exclusion zone around a pole. If any scaffolding, roofing, or any part of a construction needs to be inside the exclusion zone, it is the customer's responsibility to obtain a permit from the Supply Authority to occupy this area.
• It is the Site Supervisor's responsibility to advise us when the cables are disconnected from the temporary builders pole and the meter removed from the meter box, so that we can arrange to finish the hire and pick up the pole.
