PEA workmanship

[KannikaP]

Just had new concrete poles and cables run to my home, one pole directly outside. Two years before it falls over?

Ours are at more of an angle, been like it for 12 years ???? 

 

Ater a while the wires go tight and it stops moving

 

Nothing to stop you having a moan at the local PEA office, they might even do something (I think I saw a Gloucester Old Spot just pass my window).

My wires got so tight they dragged the siding off my house.

They didn't fix the pole, but came round and fitted longer wires, and nailed the siding back in place.

The pole was only put up yesterday so the ground will still be soft. Off to PEA Office later with these pictures. Let's see.

They will probably say your wall isn't vertical ????

Try telling them it moved in the night!

Probably nobody told the workers that they are supposed to be straight up.

Near where I live, along highway 7 pattaya - bangkok, they placed poles for the high voltage wires, but they didn't have poles long enough.

 

So what they did is put a pole in the ground that sticks less than a meter above the ground.

 

Then they bolted the 12 meter (?) high poles to that with two bolts.

 

You think something could go wrong with that?

Follow up. I took these photos to the PEA Lekky board, who sent a couple of 'technicians' within the hour. They took similar photos, agreed that the pole was tilted, and will send some 'engineers' to fix it. We''' see.

My Mrs said 'No, they will not send anyone', but they did.

Good, at least partial, result ???? 

 

But, will anyone come to actually fix the issue?

Did you pay?  My concrete cables were free.

Pfft...Think yourself lucky, they put the pole inside my front fence line.  (On two seperate properties as well)

Yeah, we had a pole a couple of meters inside our fence line as well, and leaning to boot.

 

Took about a year and three or four visits to the PEA office to get them to move it.
