Underground Powerline Construction
Underground powerline construction is ideal for developments that need a clean, unobtrusive and protected energy supply. We handle excavation, conduit installation and cabling with care, ensuring each installation meets all local authority and network provider requirements. This solution is well suited to subdivisions, urban upgrades, and areas prone to weather-related disruptions.
Overhead Powerline Construction
Overhead powerline systems remain a practical, cost-effective option for many regional and rural projects. We construct overhead networks using poles, crossarms and conductors, designed for durability and long-term performance. Our team ensures every installation follows current safety and clearance standards, and we coordinate with network providers to manage energisation and approvals without unnecessary delay.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does powerline construction involve?
Powerline construction refers to the design and installation of overhead or underground electrical lines that distribute electricity from substations to homes, businesses, and infrastructure. This can include everything from erecting poles and running high-voltage conductors to installing underground conduit and cabling. The scope and method depend on the site, local regulations, and the energy distributor's requirements. Projects must comply with safety standards and often involve coordination with network providers for final connection.
What’s the difference between overhead and underground powerlines?
Overhead powerlines are suspended on poles and are typically used in regional or rural areas where cost-efficiency and accessibility are important. Underground powerlines are buried beneath the ground and offer improved visual appeal, greater protection from weather events, and fewer service interruptions. However, they can be more expensive to install and harder to access for repairs. The choice depends on location, project needs and the surrounding environment.
Do I need council or network approval for powerline installation?
Yes, most powerline construction projects require approval from local councils and electricity distributors. This ensures the proposed works meet planning regulations, zoning laws, and network safety standards. Accredited Service Providers (ASPs) generally assist with this process, preparing the necessary documentation and submitting plans for approval. Failing to obtain approvals can result in costly delays or non-compliant infrastructure.
Can existing powerlines be upgraded or replaced?
Yes, existing powerlines can be upgraded to support increased capacity, improve safety or meet new compliance standards. Upgrades may involve replacing old conductors, switching from overhead to underground lines, or adjusting pole placements. These works are common during property developments, network expansions or after severe weather damage. Only licensed professionals with ASP accreditation should carry out such upgrades.
