Have you checked for underground services?
In the planning stages prior to performing any earthmoving or excavation work, make sure you are aware of the location of underground power cables. Remember to follow the four Ps:
● Plan – Contact Dial Before You Dig (www.1100.com.au) to request a plan for your underground assets.
● Pothole – Potholing may be required to determine the exact location of the services.
● Protect – Underground assets may require mechanical protection.
● Proceed – Only after you are confident that you have put in place all required controls is it safe to proceed.
