Private Power Bulletin Board

Hello everyone, I'd like to start a conversation about the process of replacing power poles privately. Anyone with recent experience who could share some tips?

Hi PoleMaster, I’ve recently handled a similar situation. It’s vital to first know whether the defect notice came directly from Western Power. Getting this sorted will help you know how to proceed.

Adding to what StormSentry said, weather is a major factor in Perth. Scheduling your installations when the weather is stable is key to avoiding delays.

An important aspect is choosing the appropriate pole material. Wood and steel poles have varied lifespans and costs. Ensure you consult your contractor the most suitable choice for your specific needs.

I'd like to emphasize the importance of securing a reputable contractor. Your choice can significantly affect the success of the project. Check their credentials and previous work to verify they’re capable.

Thanks for all the great advice. I'm taking into account all these points as I move forward. Any last-minute advice before I start this project?
