Jonjon79 13,358 Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 Not the Spanish inquisition but, I've got to ask - why do you need to drill holes in the road? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel cain 48,589 Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 Need a cat and genny to be on the safe side... Last thing you want is to hit a main or fibre cable.. Be a whole world of hurt... I assume you want to fit some sort of barrier or security post? Normally looking at about 25mm toppings and around 150/200 base You will need the correct insurance and tickets as mentioned by wildman 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken's Deputy 4,462 Posted June 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 It's a private road. I own it. And I can absolutely assure there's nothing under it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CAT scan anyway mate. You never know what's underneath. Even on private prop, it can be a nightmare. Esp if you hit something. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
