stupidity. gas pipe is extraneous and already well connected to the mass of the earth. why add a rod?
what will the gas monkeys come up with next? plastic earth clamps in case the plastic service pipe is wet?
And if it was a TT installation and that was the means of earthing rod just there, then it’s still wrong, I reckon. The rod should be directly connect to the site MET and the bonding should go there as well. So at least 2 g/y going to MET.
Is it bonding though? the wires go back to the stake not the MET I can see no main earth cable going to the MET from the stake either.
There's a wire looping out of the RH gas box. I expect whoever installed it was combining the wire to the rod from the MET and the bonding wire, instead of running two.
OP
I have not been in the properties only the communal area which is TNC-S PME
makes you wonder why it was done
