Looking at that the cables are surprisingly close to the surface, 1.2 metres down doesn't seem deep enough.
Could be shocking if there's a short.

Local farmhouse having work done on the surrounding land, left over 10,000 houses with no electric, when the workmen hit the underground cable.

I wish it was. I'm getting a certificate to say I've been on a course training me in something I learned for 3 years full time. It's like sending a car mechanic on a 3 day car maintenance seminar.
In practice it isn't even that as the seminar leader has no experience in this field.
But yes, Freiburg is lovely. Fortunately I live and work North of the city.
Isn't that always the case? I've sat in on one course and ended up re-writing it for them.

We had a team meeting called by management this afternoon. Unfortunately I had to miss it because I was in a freezing cold freight shed doing something pointless & tedious which was far more preferable. More will get decided when we have the office do on Sunday afternoon in a local pub with buffet & world cup football (for those that like that sort of thing) thrown in

No, and it's not shown on current* maps.
It used to be overground, via poles, but they were removed under a previous owner, replaced with an underground cable.

Only one pole remains, on council owned land, before the substation.

*No pun intended.

I was joking when they hit the cable they met at Peter!!

They wrote off an Hitachi long armed excavator.
