Re-routing Hall Electricity Supply

Mon 28-Sep-2015 by Martin Bond

5-dscf1821
Week beginning 28th September work was started and completed on the re-routing of the electrical supply to the Parish Hall.

The supply previously entered the Hall under the old barn door on the east side of the building and was routed under the floor to the meter and consumer units on in the cupboard adjacent to the Hall door on the west side of the building.

To complete the work on the floor and installation of the underfloor heating the cable had to be moved. The new location for the meter is in the storeroom. As all the Hall electrical circuits currently are fed from the consumer unit in the cupboard in the Hall, and as the work to installing new circuits will not commence until February 2016, a temporary power supply has been laid from the new location of the meter to the existing consumer units.

To relocate the cable required a trench to be dug in ‘Campie’s yard’ and we are extremely grateful to Campie and Barnabas for allowing this to happen in support of the project. The trench was dug on Monday. To gain access to the storeroom from the trench required an access hole to be dug in the floor of the storeroom and under the storeroom external wall. This was completed on Tuesday by Ron Moore and Steve Baber.

On Thursday Dart Electrics were at the Hall to undertake the necessary electrical work in installing the equipment and cable to connect the new power source to the existing consumer units. Western Power were at the Hall and moved the cable to the new location and fitted the meter. By the end of the day on Thursday this part of the work was completed and the electric services and equipment in the Hall were tested and functioned.

Friday saw the backfilling of the trench.
