Why Use an Earth Rod when a Disc will do?

I listened to Paul Meenan and and Tom Nagy discussing foundation earthing on the way home tonight and these Condudiscs were being recommended, but they dodged saying how much they cost, they did say that including one in a quote could make you uncompetitive.

So what sort of price are they?

For one disc and two bags of conducrete (which is what is recommended) it comes to £250. 

the safer installation method and savings on labour installing them safely needs consideration.  Comparing labour costs with drilling rods into the ground with no consideration of service strikes is comparing apples and pears. 

you could however hand dig and put a rod in before you filled it back in if you felt the urge. 

There are plenty of situations where you can be very sure there will be no buried cables or pipes, but a city it not one of them,
