Proposal

This project comprises the construction of a new 33kV overhead line spur. The new line will consist of four new poles consisting of three single and one double, which will house our plant and equipment. The new overhead line will be installed using poles of a wooden variety and these will be approximately 10 metres in height. The total length of the overhead line will be 27.50m. From Pole 2 of the new spur we propose to install approximately 1080m of 33kv underground cable to a single free standing pole, followed by 30m of service cable to the point of connection. The underground cable is classed as permitted development.
