Slide 3 Planning 1. Obtain cable records prior to developing plans 2. Try and plan any building or excavation away from the electrical network 3. Where properties are to be demolished contact Guernsey Electricity and arrange to have the services Cut Off. This is not the same as a request for a Meter Disconnection. 4. Cable locations should be verified on site by using a cable locating device (CAT) and by hand digging trial holes __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________

Slide 4 Once the approximate location of the cable has been determined: 1. Dig additional trial holes by hand to prove the exact location, route and depth of all cables 2. Mark the cable route on the ground 3. Carefully expose the cable, digging by hand 4. Do not use a mechanical digger or power tools within 50cm of any cable __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________
