  • Minimum safe working distances for operating of mobile plant near U/G cables

    Posted by Phil Cadman on 8 July 2022 at 12:43 pm

    Hi All,

    Appreciate feedback on the process regarding minimum safe working distance of operating mobile plant around underground network cables, and what is the minimum distance permitted.

    As NZECP 34 only provides requirements regarding overhead conductors, 4m for non-competent and table 6 of section 5.

    Regards

    Phil
