Anyone know what they are doing here? If there is a cable already in place, why on earth drill through the wall? Surely they should test the existing cable first?
Hi
I'm sure other people will be able to give you a more difinitive answer. My guess is that the cable has been remotely tested and shown to be not upto spec.

The cover is probably part of their health and safety routine.
