Burying powerlines in Australia for an airstrip.

Hi,

I am wondering if anyone on here has had experience with getting a quote for burying powerlines in Australia. I have approval to put an airstrip on my property in Queensland however to get the optimal direction and length I would like to place approx 150m of 3 strand power lines underground that run through part of my property. These aren’t property power lines, they are general power for the area so I’m guessing they’re reasonably high voltage. I don’t need to remove or relocate any poles, just the power lines between 2 poles. Any advice would be appreciated. I know it’s going to be expensive but am after some rough guidance before I go to energex so I can work out whether I am getting a genuine quote for the actual cost of the job, or a bugger off we don’t want to do it quote. PM me if you’d prefer to not put the information on this thread.

Thanks in advance.

Rosso.
