Tiger Tails
There are times when overhead power lines are too close to building works. To avoid risk or injury to anyone on or around the site, power lines are protected with a cover commonly known as tiger tails. Lines that may require tiger tails include mains lines across the front of a property and/or neighbours’ lines next to the property and telecommunications lines. The need for tiger tails is determined by the height of the lines, distance from the house and access points for deliveries. If mains lines are within close proximity, we are required to obtain a quote from the energy provider to install the tiger tails prior to construction starting. Because we can’t obtain their advice and quote until we are closer to starting construction, we will aim to put a provisional allowance in the tender document if we think they may be required.
