Request for Issuance of a Previously Coordinated Excavation Permit

Ministry of Municipalities and Housing

An advanced electronic service available on the Balady platform that proactively issues excavation permits for previously coordinated excavation sites as described in the user guide. This service is provided to utility entities across the Kingdom, such as telecommunications, electricity, and water companies. It allows their representatives within project coordination offices to apply for a permit for a previously coordinated excavation (with a prior coordination report) to deliver public utility services, without the need to visit the authority. Once the multiple excavation coordination request is completed, the request for issuing a pre-coordinated excavation permit will be generated automatically.

The service provider representative selects one of the previously coordinated
excavations (with a multi-coordination report) that has not yet been issued an
excavation permit after logging into the Balady platform.
The representative fills out and submits the request for a pre-coordinated
excavation permit after verifying all data and acknowledging compliance with
the service conditions.
Once the request is submitted, an invoice for the applicable fees is
immediately issued, and the applicant is notified to complete the payment
within a specified period.
Upon payment, the excavation permit is issued, and the applicant is notified with the option to print the permit.
