Request for Multiple Excavation Coordination

Start Service

Infrastructure coordination services

An electronic service provided on the Balady platform, available to service providers across the Kingdom, including telecommunications, electricity, and water companies. It allows their representatives within project coordination offices to submit a request for coordinating multiple excavation projects within urban areas. This coordination ensures alignment with other entities before issuing excavation permits (pre-coordinated excavation permits) without the need to visit the authority.
Once a multiple excavation coordination request is completed, a request for a previously coordinated excavation permit will be issued automatically.

الاسئلة الشائعة

Can excavation begin upon obtaining a Multiple Excavation Coordination Report?

No, the Multiple Excavation Coordination Report is not an excavation permit but rather a confirmation that coordination has been completed. The service provider must still pay the fees and obtain a pre-coordinated excavation permit for each excavation listed in the coordination report.

What is the purpose of multiple excavation coordination if the issued coordination report does not serve as an excavation permit?

The goal is to reduce the time required for issuing excavation permits. Once a multiple excavation coordination report is issued for several excavation sites, there will be no need to redo the coordination when applying for a pre-coordinated excavation permit.
