Laying duct and warning tape within the excavated trench
As we’re installing our own private duct work for the connections, our electricty providers have been on-site to inspect and approve the quality of the works:
Inspection of works by the electricity board
After only 1 day of work, our contractors started backfilling the trenching
We’ve also been installing a comprehensive external digital CCTV and PIR lighting system, with work going on late in to the evening:
