According to our records, the underground assets in the vicinity of the location stated in your enquiry are AFFECTED. Please read the below information
and disclaimers in addition to the any attached plans provided prior to any construction activities.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
• The information provided is valid for 30 days from the date of this response. If your work site area changes or your construction activity is beyond 30
days please contact Dial Before You Dig on 1100 or www.1100.com.au to re-submit a new enquiry.
• Due to the nature of underground assets and the age of some assets and records, our plans are indicative of the general location only and may not
show all assets in the location. You should not solely rely on these plans when undertaking construction works. It is also inaccurate to assume depth
or that underground network conduit and cables follow straight lines, and careful on-site investigations are essential to locate an asset’s exact position
prior to excavation. It is your responsibility to locate and confirm the exact location of our infrastructure using non-destructive techniques. We make no
warranty or guarantee that our plans are complete, current or error free, and to the maximum extent permitted by law we exclude all liability to you,
your employees, agents and contractors for any loss, damage or claim arising out of or in connection with using our plans.
• Please note that some of our conduits carry electrical cables and gas pipes. Please exercise extreme care when working within the vicinity of these
conduit and take into account the minimum clearance distances under Duty Of Care below.
• You (and your employee and contractors) must not open, move, interfere, alter or relocate any of our assets without our prior approval.
• Note It is a criminal offence under the Criminal Code Act 1995 (Cth) to tamper or interfere with communication facilities owned by a carrier. Heavy
penalties may apply for breach of this prohibition, and any damages suffered, or costs incurred by us as a result of such unauthorised works may be
claimed against you.
DAMAGE
• You must report immediately any damage to our network on 1800 786 306 (24hrs). We will hold you liable and seek compensation for any loss or
damage to our network, our property and our customers that is caused by or arises out of your activities.
DUTY OF CARE
You have a duty of care to carefully locate, validate and protect our assets when carrying out works near our infrastructure. For construction activities that
may impact on or interfere with our network, you will need to call us on 1800 786 306 to discuss a suitable engineering solution, lead time and cost
involved. The below precautions must be taken when working in the vicinity of our network:
• Contact us on 1800 786 306 to discuss and obtain relevant information and plans on our infrastructure in a particular location if the information
provided in this response is insufficient.
• Physically locate and mark on-site our network infrastructure using non-destructive techniques i.e. pot holing or hand digging every 5 metres prior to
commencing any construction activities. Assets located must be marked to AS5488 standard. NO CONSTRUCTION WORK IS ALLOWED UNTIL
THIS STEP IS COMPLETED. You must use an approved telecommunications accredited locator, or we can provide a locator for you at your expense.
If we provide you with a locator, and this locator attended the site and is proven to be grossly negligent in physically locating and marking our
infrastructure, then to the extent any TPG carrier is liable for this locator’s negligence, acts and omissions, the total liability aggregated for all TPG
carriers is limited, at our option, to attend the site and re-mark the infrastructure or to pay for a third party to re-mark the infrastructure.
• If you require us to locate or monitor our infrastructure, please allow five business days’ notice for us to respond.
• Ensure all information, including our network requirements and any associated plans provided by us are kept confidential and remain on-site
throughout your construction works.
