Attachment 2 – Required Documentation for Conductor Survey

Where an applicant wishes to change surface levels on an easement containing Energex
Overhead Transmission assets they shall provide drawings showing a plan and profile view of
the development in relation to the Energex asset.

These drawings shall be produced specifically for this process and shall show:
- The easement boundary and title
- The location of Energex structures, poles, towers and the like within the easement
- The location of the proposed structures
- The proposed finished surface levels
- The clearance from proposed ground level or structure (existing and proposed) to the
   lowest conductors when operating at their maximum operating temperature (in profile)
- The clearance from proposed objects to conductors when in the blowout condition (in plan)
- A ground profile under the conductors

The drawings shall be based on a survey of the Energex assets which shall be carried out by a
licenced surveyor. The survey shall include the following:
- Profile of the ground along the line of the lowest conductor(s)
- Any ground features higher than the general surroundings in the vicinity of the conductors
- Ground level at the base of the Energex structure
- Conductor and insulator attachment points
- Minimum of 5 points along the length of the catenary(s) and the ground level below
- Time and date of the survey
- Ambient weather conditions including
     o Temperature (in shade)
     o Wind speed
     o Cloud cover (sunny, some cloud, overcast, rain etc)

The drawing shall show the conductor at its maximum operating temperature (in profile) and
show the blowout condition in plan (500Pa wind at 35 deg C).

Energex will supply the developer with:
- The type of conductor
- The feeder load at the time of the survey
- The maximum operating temperature of the feeder

The electrical calculations shall be carried out by an appropriately qualified RPEQ to determine
the conductor position at maximum operating temperature and the conductor blowout.

The drawing(s) shall contain a table of survey points and a table showing:
- Time and date of survey
- Feeder Load at time of survey
- Ambient weather conditions at time of survey
- Conductor type
- Maximum Operating Temperature
- Calculated tension at 15 deg C

The drawing(s) shall be signed by the RPEQ.
