I think it’s worth getting the deck chairs and an esky and park out front of NextDC

to see if any black SUV’s arrive.



Nice one ☺

Dear Damien



I’ve contacted defense this afternoon after some advice and recommendations… hopefully they reply in time before we start drilling tomorrow.



Either way it will be interesting to see what occurs tomorrow.



Kindest Regards

May be defence?  they tend to put stuff in the ground without registering it with the appropriate authorities..  We were having fibre pulled into our DC in Deakin West back in 2002-ish, when the borers hit a pair of unknown orange PVC pipes about 40cm below the footpath.  Called ACT Govt, who double-checked their plans, declared it to be unknown, and said to just rip up whatever was in the way, and continue with our works.



About 3 hours later two black ford explorers (I shit you not!) rocked up with dudes in suits causing quite a ruckus about needing to replace the pipes and not touch them again.  We ended up with one of the planning dudes from ACT Govt out to talk to them.  They wouldn't tell us what was going on, but upshoot was that the pipes had to be replaced before we could continue work.  The dudes in suits refused to identify themselves, so we ended up sending the bill for the extra work to ACT Govt, and they paid it.



Having been (allegedly) chased by the same vehicles after (allegedly, cough) dumpster diving at the defence facility next to Deakin Exchange, I can be pretty sure who owned the pipes :-p

No, we are drilling tomorrow and on Thursday … We have found some unknown objects in the road however… which no provider listed in the street is saying they own…

Info here if you want to check if it’s your asset… … as it’s in the way of where we want to go…. ;)

James,
Did you drill somewhere you weren't supposed to? :P Looks like Pipe had a hiccup at least in Inner Melbourne around 12:25 for around 15-20 minutes.

Cheers
Matthew
