Safety Spotter

3 weeks ago

Spotting for underground services can be tricky. Each scoop for an excavator is a potential hazard because buried assets aren't always where they're meant to be.

This is a trench for water services in a new subdivision going adjacent to a gas main laid just a few weeks prior. Hydro excavation is the best solution to expose existing pipes but in this instance the ground was still soft enough to allow for hand-digging and underground warning tape was in place. According to the plans there was meant to be 600mm clearance between services, but poly-pipes being so flexible often deviate - in this instance less than 300mm in some spots.

The solution here was to also deviate the edge of the new trench away from the gas line. Always dig with a blade bucket (no teeth!) on the excavator when this close ... See MoreSee Less

These almost invisible conductors are known as SWER lines (Single Wire Earth Return) and provide power to many thousands of isolated rural customers throughout Victoria.

But they're also exceptionally hazardous because of:

1. High voltage - typically 12.7kV or 19.1kV

2. Almost impossible to see unless you know their location & are looking for them

3. They're also seen as a bushfire risk with the Victorian Bushfire Royal Commission recommending their progressive replacement. But alas, we have 30,000km of SWER lines throughout the state.

In the meantime, be aware of the risks and don't encroach on No-Go-Zones without a SWMS, Safety Spotter and (if required) Permit to Work.

What we have here is newly installed (yet to be switched on) roadside safety signage, completed safely with All About Traffic Management and Andrea in place as our spotter/ photographer

Some jobs need to be done overnight. This was an installation of some snazzy new signage for the Gurner offices in Williams Road, Prahran. Yarra Trams as well as CitiPower and Powercor Australia required full power isolation. That meant a 1am start for the Visual Exposure team as well as our spotters 🕐

Hidden behind the Flinders Street scaffolding is some important infrastructure maintenance happening on our railway bridges. We're working with McElligotts Group of Companies on some abrasive blasting & protective coatings - with plenty of overhead services around. 👀
Photo thanks to Rod.
