Appendix F. Civil Engineering Report Part 2

   investigations (including engaging appropriately qualified plant locators at your
   expense to locate nbn Facilities during any activities you carry out on site).
2. You acknowledge that nbn has specifically notified you above that the Indicative Plans
   are likely to be more accurate in showing location of fibre optics and
   telecommunications cables than power cables. There may be a variation between the
   line depicted on the Indicative Plans and the location of any power cables.
3. You should not assume that nbn Facilities follow straight lines or are installed at
   uniformed depths along their lengths, even if they are indicated on plans provided to
   you. Careful onsite investigations are essential to locate the exact position of cables.
4. In carrying out any works in the vicinity of nbn Facilities, you must maintain the
   following minimum clearances:
         • 300mm when laying assets inline, horizontally or vertically.
         • 500mm when operating vibrating equipment, for example: jackhammers or
            vibrating plates.
         • 1000mm when operating mechanical excavators.
         • Adherence to clearances as directed by other asset owner's instructions and
            take into account any uncertainty for power cables.
5. You are aware that there are inherent risks and dangers associated with carrying out
   work in the vicinity of underground facilities (such as nbn fibre optic,copper and coaxial
   cables,and power cable feed to nbn assets).Damage to underground electric cables
   may result in:
         • Injury from electric shock or severe burns, with the possibility of death.
         • Interruption of the electricity supply to wide areas of the city.
         • Damage to your excavating plant.
         • Responsibility for the cost of repairs.
6. You must take all reasonable precautions to avoid damaging nbn Facilities. These
   precautions may include but not limited to the following:
         • All excavation sites should be examined for underground cables by careful
            hand excavation. Cable cover slabs if present must not be disturbed. Hand
            excavation needs to be undertaken with extreme care to minimise the likelihood
            of damage to the cable, for example: the blades of hand equipment should be
            aligned parallel to the line of the cable rather than digging across the cable.
         • If any undisclosed underground cables are located, notify nbn immediately.
         • All personnel must be properly briefed, particularly those associated with the
            use of earth-moving equipment, trenching, boring and pneumatic equipment.
         • The safety of the public and other workers must be ensured.
         • All excavations must be undertaken in accordance with all relevant legislation
            and regulations.
7. You will be responsible for all damage to nbn Facilities that are connected whether
   directly, or indirectly with work you carry out (or work that is carried out for you or on
   your behalf) at the Location. This will include, without limitation, all losses expenses
   incurred by nbn as a result of any such damage.
8. You must immediately report any damage to nbn™ network that you are/become
   aware of. Notification may be by telephone - 1800 626 329.
