Lurnea Underground Cabling Specialists

Absolutely. We regularly work with builders, developers, and homeowners on new construction projects throughout Lurnea. Our services include coordinating with the network distributor to establish the connection point, installing underground conduit and cabling from the pillar or pit to your metre box, setting up the consumer mains to your switchboard, and ensuring all work meets current standards and regulations. We can integrate with your construction timeline, working alongside other trades to ensure smooth installation. Our team handles all necessary applications and liaises with Endeavour Energy to secure approvals and connections for your new property.

Underground electrical cable depth requirements vary depending on the cable type, location, and local regulations. Generally, mains cables in residential areas need to be buried at appropriate depths with proper conduit protection. Cables running under driveways or areas subject to vehicle traffic require deeper installation with additional protection measures. Our installations always include warning tape placed above the cables to alert future excavators. As Level 2 electricians familiar with Lurnea conditions and Endeavour Energy requirements, we ensure every installation meets or exceeds minimum depth standards whilst considering your property's specific characteristics and future access needs.

Underground cable damage typically occurs from excavation activities, ground movement, corrosion, or water ingress. If damage occurs, the first step is ensuring safety by isolating the power supply. Our team uses specialised fault location equipment to pinpoint the exact damage location without unnecessary excavation. Once located, we assess whether repair or replacement is most appropriate. Minor damage might be repairable through cable jointing techniques, whilst significant damage often requires cable replacement. We handle the entire process including temporary power arrangements if needed, repairs or replacement, testing to verify integrity, and reconnection. Our emergency response team is available for urgent repairs to restore your power supply safely.

Not at all. We take a strategic approach to minimise disruption during underground cabling installations. Our team carefully plans cable routes to avoid established gardens, trees, and landscaping features wherever possible. We use narrow trenching techniques that create minimal surface disturbance and can often route cables along boundaries or under paths. For existing properties, we work around driveways, pavers, and garden beds, reinstating surfaces to their original condition after installation. Before commencing work, we'll discuss the planned route with you and identify any areas of particular concern. Our goal is completing quality electrical work whilst preserving your property's appearance and minimising the impact on your outdoor spaces.
