climbing near powerlines

[Ben Ballard]

if climbing and dismantaling a tree within the 1 tree length do you still need to inform power company even if it can be done with out it comming near wires,sorry for another dull hse type post, but would like to do things right and get up to date:001_smile:any help would be great thancks

If its a dismantle, A full tree length away, Then no i wouldnt inform them.

[Danavan]

Sheathed or not?

 

Would like to know too.

[combined tree services]

how close is the closest limb?branch from the wires ?? also is it low voltage or high voltage ?? the ruling it that if it is within 2 tree lengths you shold inform your local power suplier but to be honest unless there is a risk of any part of the tree comming into the live and proximity zones then they really aint to bothered

[Ben Ballard]

thancks for the replys eg the closest branch tip would be 10m away ,3 wires sheathed ,

[Mozza]

At 10m away you'll be fine id say on a dismantle.

something i must of missed when read the afag guide as didnt seem all that clear

If your 100% you wont hit the lines, Then do it, if your not then dont

 

Sounds like your miles away to be honest
