Sorry to say something you wont want to hear YOU are responsable as YOU should have assertained exactly where the cable was wouldnt matter what depth it was at if your putting a fence in surley you would check area with a CAT( cable avoidance tool) then hand dig where cable was indicated

I have to disagree with you there Mogga, it is the responsibility of the developer/main contractor to supply all that information to the sub contractor. and the very fact that these cables were not installed at anywhere near the correct depths. We give all our groundworks and othe sub-contractors full information on any areas where they will be disturbing FG Levels. At the very least, it's a 50/50 crap shoot, which the OP has already tentatively offered!!!
 
now i know where iv'e been going wrong. for 30 years iv'e wondered why the heck our moggie couldn't find a cable anywhere. " here kitty, kitty.
 
Try phoning and asking DNO for a cable location they all come stamped @ these cables are shown but due to site conditions they may not be as indicated@ or something like that
I for one wouldnt go sticking a shovel into the ground if I susspected a cable was there Old street lighting cables were forever geting cut by and charged to the cable TV companys as they had CATS and drawings issued they even had our phone numbers to put a street on 24/7
One of the subbies refused and was taken to court the judge said @why would you cut and dig with a machine knowing there may be a cable in the vicinity isnt there a tool to check for cables @

That aside the OP hasnt posted for months and post is ages old lol
