Managing returning of poles

What is Happening?

There have been recent examples where some depots have been unable to take or manage poles from Accredited Service Providers (ASPs). In response Essential Energy’s Environmental, ASP Connections and Operations team have developed a solution which will help alleviate the challenges involved.

Transfer of Ownership & Responsibility:

  • ASPs can now provide the Transfer of Ownership & Responsibility form (CEOF6139 Part A) to customers willing to take ownership of unwanted used poles.
  • The ASPs are to submit the completed form to the Depot Resource Supervisor, along with the Returned Materials Check List (CEOF2098), for certification and signoff.
  • Once the transfer of ownership is approved, the pole butt should be removed and placed in the pole butt bin located at the local depot by the ASP and the remainder of the pole left at the agreed location indicated on CEOF6139 Part A form.
  • ASPs are not permitted to retain poles or transfer them to third parties outside of the relevant customer. Where feasible, other third-party transfers are to be organised by the local depot once the poles are returned or otherwise by pre-arrangement.

It is recommended that ASPs and Essential Energy discuss and plan the return or transfer of poles prior to the commencement of work, so any necessary arrangements can be made.

CEOF6319 - Part A: Transfer of Ownership & Responsibility for Second Hand Poles can be located on Essential Energy’s Document Library.
