Earth rod installation services below

[chris day]

Hello guys

I have a job coming up where i will be installing x2 car chargers in an office car park (wall pods) supplied from a PME.

When installing earth rods what procedures can anyone recommend to ensure you do not go through any services below?

Site drawings would be ideal however they are not always available

Hand excavate a trench and use conductive concrete.

If you dont want to install a rod then use 2 of the.new podpoint ones. They can be used on pme and fully comply. You can buy.them from 2 suppliers. A posted about them recently.
As others have said dig down as far as possible and go careful. Maps may help to an extent but sometimes yoi can never be 100%

If you're that worried there are companies you can sub in just to install the earth rods.

Only the information about their equipment, they can't tell you what privately owned services are buried.
