Earthing arrangement

05ballard

I have visited a site to Inspect someone else’s ecir and one of the defects is that there is no earth supplied. 
 

The site has about 200 ish sheds that are currently fed off 25mm swa radials then reduced to 6mm swa to each shed but there is no earth through any of the swa now the other elec has gone and said that due to this all would need to pulled up and pulled up. The cable it’s supplied in you can’t earyj the sheath due to only having one copper Center and the sheath as the neutral. Each shed does have a earth stake but all are in bad condition or missing completely. Each shed is privately owned so my argument is that the site is suppling them with a live and neutral and it’s down to the shed owner to supply a earth and 100ma rcd protection am I correct?

    It could be owned by a Council or it could be privately owned if it’s a Gipsy and traveller site, often they ended up in shared  family ownership, one of my brothers mates owns such a site along with his cousins, the ownership having been passed on from his dad and uncles. The site is literally worth millions of pounds, but is unlikely to ever be sold as it’s a shared family asset.
