In a small boat yard, two lighting poles are fed with two core pyro the outer sheath being pvc covered and buried in concrete.
Both poles are connected in parallel with each other. A single metal clad waterproof switch controls both poles. The feed to the 1st pole has gone down but the pyro to the second pole is clear.
My intention was to run a feed, via catenary wire (distance of approx 3 mt) to the first pole and then to use the existing "good" pyro to the 2nd pole.
I am told that the use of pyro and the use of catenary feeds, in a boat yard is in breech of the Regs. Is this correct as I can't find anything to support this opinion?
If it is correct, surely it is something that can't be applied retrospectively to existing installations.
I may be able to bury an SWA cable to the 1st pole but at the moment I can't avoid using the existing buried pyro to the 2nd pole.
Opinions Please.
