Keep off the Green - Working with SPEN

The Dilemma

• Upgrading of Low Voltage (LV) cables and service connections using traditional methods may cause damage to customer’s properties using traditional methods
• Great inconvenience and disruption to customers
• Traditional open cut methods of installation are more hazardous
• Re-instatement works for ornate paths, driveways and lawns are very expensive
• These extra re-instatement costs tie up valuable resources from front line activities
