New housing estates

I was wondering how supplies to houses in new estates is approached in the U.K. Ireland, for example, is almost exclusively TNCS. In new estates supplies are run to pillars and mini pillars so that connections are available above ground. The contractor is responsible for trench excavation and associated ducting. DNO earthing of the neutral is also often first-fixed by the contractor and photos taken of the composite arrangements at various stages.

    If the situation is as you describe in Ireland, it seems the performance and maintenance of the network PEN  is a responsibility now deferred to the Electrician.


    Is this not really just an admission by the DNO that the network is rubbish and that they do not want any liability?
