                               Standard Guidelines OH-03/12
When considering Works, either on Energex easements or in the vicinity of Energex assets,
please be aware of the following general conditions:

   Satisfactory clearance from your proposed structure to the existing (and/or future) electricity
    wires must be maintained in accordance with the Electrical Safety Regulations 2013.

   No civil works are to occur within 5 metres of any part of an Energex Structure (e.g.- tower
    base, pole or stay) without Energex approval.

   If the minimum 5m horizontal separation to the Energex structure cannot be achieved, the
    Developer must consult Energex with regards to allowable construction methods. This may
    include full depth shoring of the excavation sides for a minimum of 5 metres either side of
    the structure.

   Any excavations deeper than 5m must have a minimum horizontal separation from the
    excavation to any tower, base or pole at least equal to the excavation depth. The
    excavation is not to be left open overnight and backfill is to be compacted in 150mm layers
    in the immediate vicinity of the structure.

   10 metres clear access must be provided around all towers and pole structures after the
    completion of any works on the easement.

   Natural ground level on the easement should not be disturbed without Energex approval.

   Final ground levels should slope gently to the edge of the easement, surrounding area or
    kerb such that pooling of water on the easement is avoided and conductor ground
    clearances are not decreased.

   Stockpiling of spoil on the easement is prohibited.

   Proposed underground services such as stormwater, sewerage, water and the like are to be
    kept to the outer edge of the easement. Services crossing the easement should be as near
    as practicable to right angles to the overhead conductor direction and not within 10 metres
    of any tower, pole or stay. Pipelines and crossings are to be clearly marked. Please
    submit the relevant design drawings to the Principal Mains Design Engineer for review.

    The identification, assessment and mitigation of any possible hazards in the service due to
    electromagnetically induced voltages, is the responsibility of the Developer.

   Any cut in the vicinity of a structure or between a structure and the road kerb will need to be
    stabilised by a retaining wall. The retaining wall design and location is to be submitted to
    Energex for approval.

   Any costs incurred by Energex as a result of the works on the easement are to be met by
    the property Developer / owner.

   Access to the easement and access along the easement must be available to Energex
    personnel, including vegetation crews and regular routine line inspection crews, and heavy
    equipment, such as Heavy Trucks, Machinery and Cranes for construction, maintenance
    and emergency services, at all times.

   Existing access tracks must be re-instated, repaired or maintained if they are damaged
    during construction or other activities.
