IN VICINITY Utility plant is expected to be within, adjacent to or very close to the search area. It’s recommended to liaise with the utility in advance of any works taking place. NOT IN VICINITY Utility plant is not expected to be within, adjacent to or very close to the search area. It may be located some distance from the search area. DISCLAIMER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS The following documents must be referred to before work commences in the vicinity of existing services: • Health and Safety Booklet HS (GS) 6 Avoidance of Danger from Overhead Electric Lines. • General Safety Measures to Avoid Injury and Damage to Gas Apparatus. • HSE Guidance Note HS (G) 47 Avoiding Danger from Underground Services. • National Joint Utilities Group (NJUG) Publications Vol. 1. • CDM Regulations 2007 (Regulation 34 – Energy Distribution Installations). • Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. BASIC RISK ASSUMPTION FOR ALL SERVICES When dealing with existing services the following assumptions must always be accepted: • All existing buildings have gas, water electric and telecoms supplies to them until proven otherwise. • Any supply to an existing building, no matter how old the building is or how deteriorated the supply may appear, is taken to be ‘live’ until proven otherwise. • All open land, vacant lots and derelict sites are deemed to have services beneath them until proven otherwise. • The only acceptable proof that a service is ‘dead’ and can be removed is written confirmation from the owner of the service. • The quality and accuracy of information provided by utilities about their existing plant is indicative and no warranty is made as to its accuracy. Therefore, any utility record plans and/or marked up drawings provided by each utility must only be used as a guide and the actual location of plant should be verified by CAT scan or trial holes before construction works commence. Please note not all service connections are shown on the utility record plans. PLANT FOUND WITHIN SITE BOUNDARIES Where utility plant is found within the site boundary, it is recommended for the client to check for legal easements or wayleaves. Diversions of plant within site boundaries can be expensive and time consuming to relocate. Further investigation of costs and timescales are recommended. Please ask PES for further details. GUIDANCE This flow diagram is intended to help give an understanding of the process from referring to plans on-site through to the start of excavation. For example, could services be non-metallic pipes? Please refer to HS (G) 47 text for further information. † In particular; visual evidence. Ensure that the presence of services, which may be unmarked on plans or for which no plans are available, has been considered, for example service connections. ** If there is visual evidence of services, but owners cannot be traced, despite all reasonable attempts to do so, any excavation could proceed but using hand-dug trial holes and proceeding with great care.

    An Introduction to Electricity North West About This Guide

    An introduction to Electricity North West About this guide This guide provides a short, easy to read introduction to Electricity North West and our role in managing the electricity distribution network. The guide is aimed at anyone with an interest in the workings of the electricity distribution industry, including individuals and communities thinking about setting up their own local energy projects. About Electricity North West As a distribution network operator (DNO), Electricity North West owns and maintains the overhead lines, underground cables and equipment, such as switchgears and transformers, which are used to distribute electricity to customers’ premises in the North West of England. Unlike electricity suppliers, we don’t buy or sell electricity. Neither do we install, operate or read electricity meters. Our role is to make sure you have the electricity you need to power your daily lives, as and when you need it. Although our name isn’t on the top of your electricity bill, around 18% of your annual bill pays for the distribution Carlisle service we provide. Penrith We are a regulated business and Ofgem, the energy sector Workington regulator, oversees and agrees what we can charge you for the services we provide. They decide the rules that we work within, and we engage with them alongside our customers Kendal and stakeholders to form our business plan; which outlines how your money is spent.
