As Midlands groundworks specialists delivering foundations, drainage, roads and sewers, our teams regularly excavate near buried live cables.
A standard shovel contacting a live conductor can cause serious shock or injury. That’s why insulated shovels are essential kit on our sites.
These tools have non-conductive fibreglass shafts with dual insulation layers, a hand stop to keep hands off the blade, and rounded edges that reduce cable damage.
Each one is flash tested to 10,000V and certified to BS 8020:2011 for safe use near live services.
They complement our CAT scanning, permits and hand digging in tolerance zones. Combined with our CHAS accreditation, NRSWA qualified team and trench box systems, they help keep everyone safe while we stay on programme.
