Timber Private Pole Replacement and Overhead Mains, Yerrinbool
Explore our private power pole servicesWhy we were called
An ageing private pole supporting several supplies at this Yerrinbool site had become unstable. It needed to be replaced and the overhead service restored safely, with the work done on a weekend to limit disruption.
What we did
- Excavated the old footing and removed and disposed of the existing timber pole.
- Installed a new 9.5m timber private pole, then backfilled and compacted it for stability.
- Reconnected all the switchboards supplied from the pole, with isolation, termination, testing and reinstatement of supply.
- Installed new overhead consumer mains with the required clearances.
- Retensioned the existing overhead signals cable across three poles and fitted a new bracket where one had slipped.
- Worked from an elevated work platform for safe access.
The result
The site now has a stable, compliant private pole supporting its multiple supplies, with overhead cables correctly tensioned and supported.

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.
