Safe and efficient distribution of electricity to homes, businesses and to industrial sites depends on the power poles. Depending if you are dealing with an old power pole that needs change or putting in a brand new electrical installation for a property development task, electrical pole installation and repairs is a certification worth studying. Let’s take a look into the full details surrounding power pole services in Western Sydney and why AJB Electrical Group should be your chosen provider for competent and skilled services.
Power Poles and their Importance
The backbone of electrical distribution networks, power poles generate high voltage power lines between substations and dwellings. These structures help transmit electricity without any obstacles so that everyday things that are done can be done smoothly. With outages, safety hazards and disruptions, poorly maintained or damaged power poles require expert care.
Types of Power Poles
Wooden Power Poles
Wooden poles are commonly used in the building of both residential and rural areas because they are cost effective, and have natural insulation properties. Yet they still need to be maintained regularly to keep rot, insect damage, and wear away.
Steel Power Poles
Steel poles are more durable and weather resistant, and are perfect for use in industrial, as well as high density urban areas. They’re longer lived, but need to be corrosion protected.
Composite Power Poles
Composite poles are made from the best advanced material, fiberglass, giving it strength and easy-to-carry properties at the same time. For a modern installation, they’re becoming increasingly popular.
When Do You Need Power Pole Installation or Repairs?
Several scenarios call for power pole services, including:
New Property Developments: If you’re starting a new property then you may need a private power pole to be connected into the main power grid whether you’re living off the grid or not.
Aging or Damaged Poles: Power poles, however, can degrade over time because of environmental factors and once they degrade, they become damaged and have to be repaired or replaced.
Compliance Upgrades: Old power poles might even have to be upgraded to current safety standards.
Visible cracks, leaning, rust or frequent power outages are some signs your power pole is in need of attention.
Power Pole Installation Process
Assessment and Planning
The certification electrician evaluates the site to work out the best type of power pole and its positioning. At this stage, we’ve taken into account load requirements, terrain and local regulation.
Approval and Permits
But power pole installations themselves require local council and utility provider (Ausgrid or Endeavour Energy in Western Sydney, for example) approvals.
Installation
According to officials, the installation includes digging the foundation, securing poles and connecting to the grid. Elevated Work Platforms (EWPs), along with other application specific advanced equipment, make the process safe and efficient.
Testing and Inspection
Once installed, the system is tested for functionality and safety extensively afterwards.
Power Pole Repairs: What to Expect
Inspection and Diagnosis
To locate wiring faults or insulation degradation amongst other things, licensed electricians do a thorough inspection.
Repairs or Replacement
Repair costs are depending on the severity of the issue: reinforcing the pole, fix connections or replacing the damaged parts. When the pole cannot be repaired, a full replacement is required.
Restoration
The system is then tested after repairs to confirm it’s working and safe.
