1. Backfill Cable Pit with bedding sand and compact in place. Refer TRENCHING Drawing No. 5227. 2. Reinforced concrete surround slab: a) 100/125mm thick slab: b) 11 TM trench mesh reinforcement in centre of slab: c) 25 MPa grade concrete: d) Finish by wood float or by nylon broom. 3. The top face of the concrete surround slab shall be 100mm Min. above the final surface level (when turf is laid). 4. The concrete slab is to slope away from plinth falling at a slope of 1 in 25. 5. Cable apertures through the precast concrete plinth shall be backfilled to 50mm from the top of plinth. A 30mm deep layer of 1:16 ratio weak mix concrete shall be placed to seal aperture. 6. The surface of the surround slab may be finished with a stencil pattern surface to match the surrounding pavements of the development. (Use Textcrete or equivalent product. Construct to suppliers specifications). 7. Concrete slab to be cast in separate sections on side/s where cables enter/exit to allow future access. Provide Abelflex between sections and around plinth. Concrete edge beam to perimeter 150 wide x 150 deep below finished surface.

NOTES: 1. A ring main unit in parkland shall be located: Away from residential dwellings and surrounding properties to minimise visual and sound impact; As close as possible to the road kerb to allow 24 hour all weather access for personnel, a coventional crane and heavy equipment. 2. When planting vegetation in parklands, ensure vegetation does not encroach on the ring main unit site. Take into consideration the fully matured size of vegetation to allow continuing access to the site. 3. A 3.0m wide cable and access easement or road reserve shall be provided between the ring main unit site and the R.P. Street Alignment. 4. The location of ring main unit sites is based on acceptable separation to adjacent dwellings located as shown. Any reduction in the 1.5m minimum dimension shown on the drawings requires a corresponding relocation of the ring main unit site to maintain the acceptable separation. Parklands Dwelling Refer Note 4

RING MAIN UNIT INSTALLATION

1 SITE 1.1 General The site shall be to the satisfaction of Ergon Energy, including Stable (soil conditions) Flood free Level (topography) where possible Free from steep batters Free from other services Along coastal areas the site must be located as far as possible from the shoreline and sheltered from salt spray. A site should not be located where impact by traffic is likely and, if at a truncated section of the street alignment or other non-regular shaped site the following shall apply: The front edge of the ring main unit shall be as near to parallel as possible to the R.P. Street Alignment. The specified rectangular size of the site shall not be reduced. 1.2 Site Size The minimum area required to accommodate a ring main unit shall be: Common earthing sites Level sites - 3000mm width x 2800mm depth. Retaining wall sites - 3400mm width x 3000mm depth. 1.3 Ring Main Unit Orientation Ring main units shall be oriented such that the HV panels are easily accessible from the dedicated footpath. Where the developer required the ring main unit to be included: a) In the Road Reserve:The Developer shall obtain all necessary approvals from the Department of Transport or the Local Authority. b) On Freehold property (including residential or parkland):The Developer shall provide Ergon Energy with a registered easement at no cost to Ergon Energy. Acceptable separation of ring main unit to adjacent dwellings is provided if the front of dwellings are set back 6.0m from the R.P. Street Alignment and the padmount is located as shown in drawings No. 5233, 5234 Sheets 1 or 2. Developments including streets where the allowable dwelling set back is less than 6.0m will require ring main unit siting on either an alternative street, where the dwelling set back is 6.0m, or in Parklands. The developer shall provide a ring main unit site(s) as required by Ergon Energy at no cost to Ergon Energy. The site shall be included in the road reserve, or located on freehold property. No ring main units are to be located in Trustee Reserves. 1.4 URD

2 SITE PREPARATION Sites shall be prepared in accordance with the included construction drawings. 3 CONSTRUCTION OF RETAINING WALLS Retaining walls shall be constructed around the perimeter of a ring main unit site where: A change in ground level of 300mm or more occurs within 2.0m of the boundary of the ring main unit site. 4 RING MAIN UNIT FOUNDATION 4.1 Uniculvert Uniculvert foundations shall not be constructed where site and ground conditions do not provide an even or equal bearing capacity for the ring main unit. Uniculvert foundations for stable soil conditions shall be constructed in accordance with Drawing No. 5232.
Commercial and Industrial or Landscaped Areas Whether the ring main unit is for the sole use of that complex, or is required as part of the distribution network, the owner is required to grant Ergon Energy an easement for the ring main unit site, access and cabling. Separation of 5.0m between ring main unit and the nearest room or habitable area should be provided where possible.
1.6
Parklands - for other than URD Obtain the necessary approval for an easement to accommodate the ring main unit, cabling and access to site. Acceptable separation of ring main unit to adjacent dwellings is shown in drawings No. 5234 Sheets 1 & 2.
1.7
Cabling and Access Requirement Cabling and Access A 3.0m wide easement, or road reserve, from the front of the site is required for cabling and access. Cabling Only Should the cabling route not be available in conjunction with access, a 1.0m wide cable easement is required to the front of the ring main unit. Additionally 2.0m x 3.0m (ring main unit site width) is required immediately in front to allow spreading of cables for entry to the ring main unit and also include the buried earth cable.

4 RING MAIN UNIT FOUNDATION
(CONTD)
4.2 Unstable Sites Where sites are very unstable, and conventional foundation construction techniques as described in this document cannot be applied, a special design shall be required. In such circumstances, the developer shall obtain a certified design from a Civil Engineer (RPEQ) for Ergon Energys consideration. No special designs for ring main unit foundation construction shall be used without the approval of Ergon Energy. 5 BACKFILLING AND FINAL SITE FINISH All backfill of the site must be compacted before final site finish in accordance with the applicable drawing. 5.1 Common Earthing Sites Sealing of the cable apertures in the precast concrete plinth and construction of the concrete surround slab over the ground surface shall be in accordance with drawing No. 5217.
Ring main units shall be located on the development in areas where clear, all weather access is provided for personnel and heavy equipment at all times. Easy access for a mobile crane must be available for the purpose of installation or replacement. Ergon Energy cable conduits for the development may be placed in the substation site and shall pass down the sides of the uniculvert foundation. No conduits shall pass through or under the uniculvert foundation. Conduits shall be 750mm minimum depth below the finished surface level.
