Hi PoleMaster, I’ve recently handled a similar situation. It’s important to first understand 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. Planning your pole replacement when the weather is more predictable is key to ensuring timely completion.
One crucial point is choosing the right type of pole. Wood and steel poles have distinct advantages and drawbacks. Ensure you consult your installer about the best options for your specific needs.
I'd like to emphasize the importance of securing a reputable contractor. Your choice can greatly influence the success of the project. Check their credentials and past projects to verify they’re up to the task.
Thanks for all the great advice. I'll be considering all these points as I move forward. Any further tips as I get ready to begin?
