Travelling with High Loads
You must apply for a High Load Permit if you plan to move any tall structure such as a house or a boat. For more information visit Escourting High Loads under Network Services or call Northpower Faults on 0800 10 40 40, or complete the High Load Application Form and fax it to us. Allow two to five working days for permit processing.
Loads between 4.75 and 5.4 metres high:
- We will check the proposed route.
If the route is clear to the height required, a permit will be issued.
If there are low lines we will arrange to escort the load at no cost.
Loads 5.4 metres high and over:
- We will check the proposed route.
- If the route is clear to the height required, a permit will be issued.
- If the route is not clear we will arrange an escort. A charge will apply.
- If disconnection is necessary, a 15 day notice period is required so we can inform customers who will be affected.
