In situations where a distribution pole has been fitted with a “staple” or “metal spike” for safety or structural reasons we are able to install or remove Overhead services to these poles with use of our specialised Elevated Work Platform (EWP).

Works on these poles is not permitted from ladders therefore making Giant Electrical the obvious choice for works in these situations.

This service is only available under the following strict guidelines:

For the purpose for building  works, gutter and metal or tile roof replacement, painting or any scope of works that involves entering into close proximity to the overhead power connection at the point of attachment, a temporary protective cover may be placed on the incoming power supply and associated components. The coverings (tiger tails and protective mats) are only to be used as a “protective measure” the electricity supply may be left erected however it MUST be  electrically  disconnected  & made safe at the point of supply  from the supply network.

The electrical installation may not be disconnected any longer than ten (10) days, at this time the installation will be considered as “permanently disconnected” and all metering or any other network property returned to the supply authority.

It is NOT Permitted for ANY ASP to install protective coverings on an electrical installation for any other purpose than as a safety measure during associated works to an incoming power supply.

Installation of insulating / protective coverings (tiger tails) on an energised network is NON Contestable works and may only be carried out by the network provider (Ausgrid / Essential Energy)
