PRIVATE POWER POLES PERTH

Private power poles should be replaced when they show visible signs of damage, such as leaning, rotting, splitting, or termite infestation. If your pole is older, regular inspections are crucial to prevent accidents or power outages. Poles affected by storms, wind, or heavy rain may become unstable and require immediate attention. Replacing them before they fail ensures safety and a continuous power supply.

Replacing a private power pole involves several steps, starting with a professional inspection to assess the current condition of the pole. If it needs replacement, the power supply will be disconnected, and the old pole will be removed. A new, compliant pole—either steel or timber, depending on your needs—will be installed, followed by reconnection to the electrical grid. The process ensures compliance with safety standards and is completed with minimal downtime.

In most cases, a private power pole replacement can be completed in one day. The timeline includes safely disconnecting the power, removing the old pole, preparing the site, and installing the new pole. However, factors like location, weather conditions, and site complexity may affect the duration. Our team works to complete the job efficiently while prioritising safety and minimising power disruptions.

Several factors impact the cost of replacing a private power pole, including the type of pole (timber or steel), the height and load requirements, site accessibility, and any additional services such as excavation.
