Submain

[loplug]

Is it ok to run a swa submain in a trench with the dno supply cable or do they need to be separated?

ask the dno , they'll have their own (daft) regs i imagine.

however , if no-one was looking i'd probably use the same trench and put a couple of inches of sand / soil between the cables
;-)

I would run them together but dno has got to come back to make a joint so they will see

The real question is can the dno run their cable in the same trench as your swa!!

 

[Guest55]

so as soon as the joints done put the cable in.
you'll have at least 3-4 days before the digging team comes to back fill , and they wont give a crap about how many cables are in the trench.

I don't suppose it would be an issue so long as its not touching, might be worth checking with the DNO just encase.

why not?...its a case of if theres adequate insulation for the highest voltage present....n all that lot...

The Dno normally spec their cable to be ducted, if it is then throw yours in next to the duct, no sweat

run them together. it'll be a rare occurence for DNO to have warning tape over their cable for a change.
