Ed_ Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 I'm moving my electricity supply in order to demolish the existing building. I've had UKPN out to locate the supply and survey. They're coming back in a couple of weeks to move the supply. In order to save cash, I'm digging myself. I've dug a slit trench to about 75cm either side of where the technician indicated the supply was, perpendicularly, and to a depth of almost a meter. So far, I haven't found the cable. Not sure what to do next? Is the best plan to hire a CAT and see if I can home in on it? If so, do I really need the Genny with it or will it be ok without? How deep could this cable be? Worried about how much earth I'm going to be shifting by hand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 Were you present when they "located" it? What did they use? Care to post some sort of sketch or drawing showing where your electricity meter is in relation to the location they have given to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_ Posted December 31, 2024 Author Share Posted December 31, 2024 (edited) They used a CAT and Genny. Cable appears to run from the street directly to the meter, perpendicularly. Yes I was present and recorded the location. Edited December 31, 2024 by Ed_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
