General questions

The key requirements include:
1. Defining the main excavation route and all building connections.
2. For each building, the short address or building number must be entered, along with an image of the building.
3. Excavation paths must remain within the designated geographic scope of the buildings.
4. The number of connections must not exceed 80.
5. The length of each connection must not exceed 25 meters.
6. The total length of the main excavation route must not exceed 1,000 meters

Some excavation sites may be accepted while others are rejected, with feedback provided to the project owner. The applicant will have the option to address the remarks and resubmit the request for reconsideration.

If there are any remarks from the Coordination Office, the applicant can address them using the following options:
● (Delete the rejected work site): The applicant can remove the rejected site while keeping the approved ones and their associated data.
● (Replace the rejected work site): The applicant can substitute the rejected work site with another by uploading a new Shape File of the revised location while keeping the approved sites and related data.
● (Replace the entire excavation plan): In this case, all project work sites, including approved ones, are deleted. A new Shape File containing all project work sites must be uploaded, along with re-entering all relevant data, requiring the full coordination process to be restarted.

If the corrective period expires, the owner will receive a violation notice and be granted a one-month grace period for correction. If non-compliance persists, a fine between SAR 1,000 - 5,000 will be imposed.

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.

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.

There are two methods:
1. Through an engineering office: The office logs into Balady Business, views completed applications, selects the compliance certificate request, and prints the certificate.
2. Through the beneficiary: The user logs into the Balady mobile application, navigates to "My Requests", selects the compliance certificate request, and downloads the attached certificate.

The maximum total length of excavation paths for a single excavation is 1,000 linear meters.

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.
