A shovel. If the soil is of a loam variety then a machine called a Ditch Witch will do the job very nicely. It has a digging mechanism that looks like a chainsaw. The unit is self propelled and the digging depth can be pre-set to stay at the depth it is set up for. A small bucket on a back hoe is used in more rocky soil. Power lines should be set at a depth of thirty six inches in vehicular areas and 24 inches in non vehicular areas. These depths are for voltages of 750 or less.

How many feet away from overhead power lines should mechanical equipment be?
This depends on voltage level, line configuration, line height, loading, sensitivity of equipment, and on and on. The further away the better. Voltage can be induced on equipment near power lines, so I recommend grounding out your equipment as well as possible just in case.

How far should a scissor-lift be kept from power lines?
As far as possible! Here are the OSHA requirements. If the voltage is unknown stay 18 feet away. 13,000 - 69,000 volts10 feet115,000 - 138,000 volts11 feet230,000 volts13 feet500,000 volts18 feet This is no joke, the current will arc to equipment too close to the lines, and may make it near impossible to rescue the equipment operator. It's like being struck by lightning.

Can you access BPL at time of power failures?
No, unless all the BPL equipment is installed with battery backup units. The BPL devices require power to operate just as any other device would. BPL equipment will work of de-energized lines if each device has an auxiliary power source.
