Low Voltage Clearing

Livewire Utilities have fully trained experienced vegetation removal teams capable of working on and around the Low Voltage (domestic) network. These teams are trained to a very high standard and all hold nationally recognised competency certificates.

Employing both ground and MEWP based clearing techniques, Livewire Utilities can effectively and safely clear LV lines whilst observing the required safety requirements of the industry.

Working directly with the DNO's customers, our teams are competent in discussing all aspects of the work required, including specific details relating to access and disposal of arisings and ensuring that the vegetation work is carried out to the complete satisfaction of both parties. This is particularly important when de-energising the network, and when time constraints are important.

Livewire Utilities has access to equipment ranging from wood chippers and transit tippers through to fully insulated MEWPs. The majority of work is undertaken using MEWPs on the LV network.

As well as concisely identifying all site hazards and completing full onsite risk assessments before working, teams are experienced in seeing 'situations' before accidents can happen. At the end of the job we always assess how things went and discuss where improvements can be made for future jobs.
