The maximum number of excavation paths allowed per excavation site (work location) must not exceed 5 paths.

According to official directives, all government entities must be electronically linked with the Balady platform to facilitate municipal services, eliminate the need for repeated coordination, and avoid paper-based approvals through the Non-Objection Platform (Government Approvals).

The General Directorate of Traffic is a key approval authority for excavation permit requests within the Balady platform. Requests for excavation permits are sent to them, and if street closures are required during excavation, a traffic plan must be attached for approval during the permit coordination process.

All excavation requests, including (new standard excavation, previously coordinated excavation, multi-excavation coordination, emergency excavation notice, and emergency excavation), are processed through the My Requests screen under Excavation Services. Requests that are in draft status can either be completed or deleted.

Yes, customized geographic layers can be added to the platform after being provided by the municipality. Access to these layers on the map will be granted based on the permissions determined by the municipality.

If a supervising consultant identifies damage to a CITC cable while filling out a report, they will:
• Select a relevant CITC cable cut item in the report.
• Answer the confirmation question: "Is there a cut or damage to a CITC cable?"
• If "Yes," they must:
● Enter the name of the telecommunications service provider that owns the affected cable.
● Describe the issue regarding the cable cut or damage.
● Attach supporting images showing the damage to the CITC cable.

Yes, violations related to CITC cable cuts can be viewed in multiple sections of the excavation platform:
• Through the "Permit Compliance Status" filter on the Excavation Permits screen (users can search for all violations, only CITC cable cut violations, or permits without recorded violations).
• Through the "Violation Type" filter on the Monitoring and Quality screen (users can filter for all violations or specifically CITC cable cut violations).
• Through the interactive permit map, where compliance status is visually marked. When clicking on an excavation path, its details are displayed, showing whether there are recorded violations. If none exist, "No recorded violations" is displayed. If violations exist, a link appears for the recorded violation, allowing users to view its details on the Monitoring and Quality screen.
