djk: The manhole is about 1.5m from the nearest petrol pump. It's about 1ft deep and 1ft sq. It can be easily accessed by anyone by just lifting the cover. There are the the remains of some type enclosure in there, no lid, no glands. I'd say it was IP65 at some stage in it's existance.
There are signs just above the petrol pumps on the pillar with the company logo etc on them, they have fluo fittins in there, they're about 1.5-2m from the ground. There are j-boxes for these lights on all the pillars above the petrol pumps, when I say j-boxes I mean the green earth rod inspection boxes used as j-boxes.
The petrol station is built inside an old garage/car repair shop. All of the original wiring is still in there, just chopped out where it's not needed. A suspended ceiling was installed and everything is hidden above it. I lifted one of the tiles and couldn't believe the mess of cables just hanging there. The main panel is a mess too, badly overcrowed.
