SWA Depth?

[Sparky83]

Hello all,

Hopefully just a quick question really, i need to quote to install some cable to go around the outside edge of a large rounded driveway, it will be sunk into the ground but at what depth?

Ive looked online but see different depths quote, some 450mm some 600mm and some completely different.

Just want to make sure be any work starts.

Thanks,

Sparky83

I must admit i`ve been sat here on hols - laptop on wifi and have enjoyed reading the posts nearly as much as the tins of Carling that have flowed whilst reading. richy3333 - great post especially the bit:

Someone mentioned not having GN1 because they only do certain types of work and they were not required to show they had the document for their assessment (I presume they were referring to Part P). In my opinion this does only show the bare minimum level of compliance and commitment when one is actively working in the industry? You could picture the court case... (Legal advisor) 'well Mr Electrician why didn't you have/reference document XYZ'? (sparky) 'well your honour my scam provider didn't say I had to have it to 'pass' my Part P assessment'. (Legal Advisor) 'So there are or were other documents available that could have helped you in making your decision about the cable depth, but you chose not to bother"? (Sparky) - Looks at feet and shuffles awkwardly...

...10/10.

I actually haven't read any of the posts. I think I might have a browse when I eventually get home. 

I definitely think this thread has run its course now!

I don't think you 2 are going to agree, so lets all agree to differ??

Moderators??

I agree, as of post 73 when the OP said thanks for info etc.... the thread had done its job.

LENNY!!!
