CHANGING ACCESS ROUTES · PRIVATE BOUNDARIES · PERMANENT REPAIRS

Need an Electric Fence COC in Jabulani?

Has building or access work changed the way people pass your Jabulani boundary? Include the fence in the assessment before treating a temporary route as permanent. Wesslink can discuss electric fence repairs, proposed alterations and an electric fence COC enquiry for the installation concerned.

Keep people away from damaged fence components. Changes to public routes or another property require the responsible authority’s involvement; do not move fence equipment to create an unofficial passage.

BEFORE YOU BOOK

Assess the boundary against the route people now use.

Jabulani brings residential, retail and cultural facilities together, including the apartment, mall and theatre developments described by the Johannesburg Development Agency. If access work near your property changes an entrance or pedestrian route, explain the finished arrangement. The private fence enquiry needs the actual boundary and responsible property identified.

01

A temporary path now runs beside the fence

Tell the responsible site contact how people are being directed and where the concern lies. Ask the appropriate parties to review the arrangement. Do not attach temporary barriers or direction signs to electrical fence components to keep a project moving.

02

An entrance was moved during construction

Provide the old and intended new arrangement, together with known fence work. Electric fence fault finding may be needed if a warning or defect has appeared. Keep temporary disconnections or moved fittings visible in the enquiry so they are properly addressed.

03

The outside works are finished but fence work remains

Ask for the electrical items to be listed and assigned to the relevant contractor. A completed pavement, gate or entrance should not leave the fence as an assumed extra. The owner should understand what needs repair and what further assessment is required.

Finish the electrical work as part of the actual handover.

Confirm which installation is being assessed where neighbouring premises have different owners or managers. Arrange access through the responsible contacts. Ask the findings to distinguish work completed on the private fence from public infrastructure or another property’s boundary, so a repair invoice is not misunderstood as covering the wider precinct.

For a new electric fence installation, supply the proposed route and finished entrance layout and obtain applicable approvals. Keep the completed-work details and operating information with the responsible property records. Any later change in access should be considered against that current installation rather than an old drawing or temporary project arrangement.

INSPECTION & TESTING

What does an electric fence COC inspection cover?

A working energiser is one part of the system. The inspection also considers the fence installation, its safety provisions and the test results.

An electric fence certificate follows inspection and testing by a registered person. Defects affecting compliance must be corrected before certification. Read Regulations 12–13 ↗

ELECTRIC FENCE COC · JABULANI

Questions before you book.

Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.

Can an electric fence compliance certificate enquiry follow changes to an entrance?

Yes. Explain the completed and outstanding work. The relevant installation needs assessment, with necessary repairs and inspection addressed before certification can be completed.

Should access-related fence changes stay with the electric fence certificate of compliance?

Retain the completed-work description and relevant installation information. Make clear which changes concern the private fence and which belong to separate public or building works.

Is your electric fence alarming after access works near Jabulani premises?

Report the symptom and known changes. Keep clear of the affected area and arrange assessment. Do not shift barriers, reconnect components or repeat nearby work to test a suspected cause.

Can one property owner authorise work on a neighbouring boundary?

Establish the responsible party and authority for the installation before work is agreed. Where access crosses another property or public space, arrange it through the appropriate contact.

Who can issue an electric fence certificate of compliance?

A registered electric fence system installer may issue an electric fence compliance certificate after the required inspection and testing. An ordinary electrical COC is a separate document.

Will the inspection fee include repairs?

Ask for the inspection, any repairs and any return visit to be itemised in the quote. The work required depends on what is found; a price should not assume that the fence will pass before it has been inspected.
