Earhing of Semi-Permenant Fencing

Thomas McNulty
Afternoon all,


We are installing some semi-permanent (Herras type) fencing as demarcation across a site. Parts of the fencing will pass within a meter of our pipelines which are bonded to the site main earthing. My question Is does the semi-permanent fencing need bonding too or is it ok as it sits on the ground rather than in the ground?


Thanks 


Tom

    If there are no cables clipped to the fence, or electric lights/cameras or whatever connected to it, then there is no need to worry unless there is another factor to consider . Railways have other rules for example.

    I presume the pipes go into buildings with electric lights/pumps or whatever, which the fence won't ?

    As far as I'm aware no there will be no electrical equipment connected to the fence and yes the product pipes run across site into and out of buildings with electrical equipment. I've checked the regs book and the code of practice BS7430 and there ae some references but not for Herras type fences.
