What underground services packages can SCE review?
SCE can review suitable underground civil utility construction packages involving defined stormwater, sewer, water, conduits, pits, chambers, trenching, crossings, service protection, backfilling, compaction and reinstatement. Final inclusions depend on the issued requirements, utility interfaces, site conditions, access, programme, approvals, safety requirements and accepted scope.
Can SCE review installation of new underground services?
Yes. SCE can review suitable new underground civil service packages where the service type, route, levels, materials, design, utility-owner requirements, licensed-work responsibilities, inspections, testing, connections and reinstatement boundaries are sufficiently defined.
Can SCE review undergrounding of overhead services?
Yes. SCE can review suitable civil workfronts for relocating overhead services underground, including trenching, conduits, pits, crossings, backfilling and reinstatement. Utility design, isolations, regulated trade work, network connections and approvals remain with the responsible authorised parties.
Who is responsible for design, utility approvals and licensed connections?
SCE's principal role is construction delivery and practical coordination for the accepted civil works. Design, service locating, regulated electrical or gas work, network connections, specialist testing, engineering acceptance, certification and authority approvals remain with the appropriately appointed licensed, qualified or authorised parties.
How are existing live services managed before excavation?
Available service information, site conditions, utility requirements and locating responsibilities must be reviewed before excavation. Suitable locating, scanning, non-destructive exposure, isolation, protection and exclusion controls are defined by the responsible parties and the accepted project requirements before the workfront proceeds.
What information should be provided with an underground services enquiry?
Provide the site address, photographs, current drawings and specifications, service type, routes, levels, depths, materials, pits or chambers, existing-service information, utility requirements, access constraints, traffic conditions, target programme, approvals, inspection requirements and reinstatement boundaries.
Where can SCE review underground services projects?
SCE can review suitable underground civil utility construction packages across Sydney and NSW, subject to scope, location, documentation, utility interfaces, access, programme, approvals, safety requirements and commercial fit. Each enquiry is assessed before next steps are confirmed.
