I would have thought the best bet would be to contact the people responsible for the substation and I'm sure they'll have the answers. ....Isn't there usually a phone number on the substation that can be used? Reckon you've made the right decision in turning down the job.............. there's much easier ways to make a living.............. branches could drop inside, the substation has to be shut-down to retrieve them and you get the bill!!!
Agree with Graham, if you cant guarantee that branches will not fall into sub-station, leave well aone. Or get a tree surgeon in.
It raises the question how / who did the work in the past ?
Sounds like the hawthorn may have being planted as defensive hedging to engulf the sub station i wouldn't get involved .
Thanks for the advice as stated I m not going to do this job . My customer will have to contact SSE and speak with them
Thanks
electricity company most likely do it for free
Agreeed with Billybop. We had a similar situation with vegetation and the sub-station fencing. We contacted the supply company and it was all done in blindingly fast time and for free.
Don't be put under pressure by a Client to do anyting you feel uncomfortable about.
Only 'Certified / Competent' persons can enter a Substation with UK Power Network approval. Never, ever poke anything through or lean into a Substation as HV has the ability to 'jump' and electrocute you.
You can call them and normally they prefer to deal with any issues, often FoC.
