Expert Tiger Tail Installation Mortdale
At High Demand Electrical, our certified Level 2 Electricians are experts in the installation and maintenance of tiger tails as part of authorised works with Ausgrid, the network operator covering Mortdale and the Georges River Council. Our services ensure that safety is paramount when dealing with live overhead power lines close to local homes, renovations and building works.
Protective Covers for Overhead Lines in Mortdale
Tiger tails are protective coverings for overhead power lines, designed to enhance visibility and prevent accidental contact. Made in conspicuous yellow and black stripes, they encase wires to alert nearby personnel like arborists and builders to the presence of live electrical lines above Mortdale properties.

The Purpose and Limitations of Tiger Tails
- Do not insulate the wires — their primary function is to mark lines as hazardous, not insulate them.
- Do not reduce required safe distances — standard clearance protocols still apply at all times.
- Do not prevent shock or electrocution — they are for visual identification only.
- Do not permit closer working proximity — regulations on approach distance are unchanged.

FAQs
Do tiger tails insulate the power lines?
No — this is one of the most important safety facts to understand. Tiger tails do not provide electrical insulation, do not protect workers from shock or electrocution, and do not reduce the required safe approach distances under SafeWork NSW regulations. They are purely a visual warning device. Even with tiger tails installed on overhead lines above your Mortdale property, all standard clearance distances and safety protocols must still be strictly followed.
Who can install tiger tails in Mortdale?
Only a certified Level 2 ASP (Accredited Service Provider) electrician is legally authorised to install tiger tails in Mortdale and across NSW. Installers must be accredited to work on the electrical network and operate under Ausgrid's supervision. High Demand Electrical's Level 2 electricians are fully authorised to carry out tiger tail installation throughout the Georges River Council.
How much does tiger tail installation cost in Mortdale?
Cost depends on the total length of overhead line requiring coverage (supplied in 2.5-metre sections), whether service mains or distribution mains are involved, site accessibility, and hire duration. High Demand Electrical provides free, no-obligation quotes with transparent upfront pricing — contact us today and we'll get back to you within 10 minutes.
Can tiger tails be hired for a construction site in Mortdale?
Yes — tiger tails are almost always provided on a hire basis rather than purchased outright. This covers installation, the hire period for the duration of your works, and removal, all handled end-to-end by our Level 2 electricians, ideal for knockdown rebuilds and renovations in Mortdale.
How does the Ausgrid tiger tails application process work for Mortdale properties?
Tiger tail installation requires notification to and authorisation from Ausgrid before works commence. The process involves a site assessment, confirmation of the type of lines involved, and scheduling installation at a time that suits you. As an authorised Level 2 ASP contractor, High Demand Electrical handles the entire application and approval process — you don't need to contact Ausgrid directly.
