Applying for permission to work in a protected zone
The permission of the line owner is always necessary when working in the protected zone of a power line. Uncoordinated forestry, excavation and transport work in the immediate vicinity of power lines endangers both the lives and health of workers. When planning these works, be sure to contact us in advance to determine if there is any overhead line, cable or substation owned by Elektrilev in the area.
Authorization to operate in the protection zone
An application must be submitted to co-ordinate the activities in the protection zone.In the case of an emergency works, attach a diagram or drawing to the application, indicating the area of work.
- In case of planned works, the project or drawing must be coordinated in advance with Elektrilevi. Please attach the appropriate approval number and date to the application.
- Unless the project coordination requires summoning a representative, no application for authorization to operate in the protection zone is required.
- To coordinate oversized cargo, submit an application form to the Road Administration by e-mail.
Send the application at least 10 days before you start any work
