Rusted Steel Private Pole Replacement, Middle Cove
Explore our private power pole servicesWhy we were called
The owner of this Middle Cove home received an Ausgrid defect notice for a private steel pole that had rusted badly at the base. Only a licensed Level 2 ASP can disconnect, remove and replace a live pole like this. The old pole also sat close to the water mains, so the new one had to be repositioned.
What we did
- Safely disconnected and coiled the overhead consumer mains at the Ausgrid pole.
- Extracted the rusted steel pole and cut it off below ground level.
- Cored a new 1m hole slightly forward of the original position to clear the water mains, and installed the new pole.
- Ran and sleeved new consumer mains up the pole, fitted new connectors and restrung the overheads.
- Tested and tagged the installation.
The result
The Ausgrid defect was rectified and the safety risk from the corroded pole removed. Power was restored and the installation passed all testing.

Power pole FAQs
How long does a private power pole replacement take?
It depends on site access, the condition of the existing pole and the requirements of your energy provider. After we assess your site, we give you a clear timeframe before any work starts.
Who is responsible for a private power pole?
In most cases the property owner is responsible for a private pole and the supply line that runs from it to the property. We can inspect yours and confirm what applies to your situation.
Do I need a Level 2 ASP electrician?
Work that connects to the electricity network needs an accredited Level 2 ASP. High Demand Electrical is a Level 2 ASP, so we can handle the job from assessment through to reconnection and commissioning.
