Receiving a warrant for excavation

If the applicant is denied, a notification is sent to him. The notice contains the reasons why a negative decision was made. If the authorized instance has no claims to the submitted documents, a warrant for the excavation is issued .

Important point

An earthwork order is held by the entity designated as responsible for the implementation of the activities. A permit must be presented at the request of persons with the right to control the activities of the contractor, the state of the elements of improvement and other infrastructure facilities. Events that are carried out without a warrant must be immediately terminated.

Renewal

An earthwork warrant is valid for 30 days. Permission may be extended. For this, the contractor submits a written application explaining the reasons why the corresponding need arose. The request is submitted no later than three days before the expiration of the previous document. After the end of the specified period, the order loses its force. Accordingly, an expired document cannot be used as the basis for the implementation of planned activities. Work with an expired order is regarded as their unauthorized implementation. Extension of permission in this case is allowed only after bringing all the guilty parties to administrative responsibility. The validity period of a warrant for emergency repairs in structures and utilities is not allowed to be increased.

Procedural issue

To extend the order, it is necessary to submit the following documents to the administration or territorial administration of the housing and communal services:

1. Permission issued earlier.
2. Schedule of activities.

These papers are submitted in person by the applicant. After the expiration of the documentation submitted earlier, the responsible person is obliged to extend them and present them upon transfer of the application. It is, in particular, a power of attorney, a contract agreement, etc.

Contractor Responsibilities

Prior to the implementation of activities, the entity must

1. Coordinate the scheme of work with the territorial division of the traffic police.
2. Put up fences, road signs that ensure the safety of pedestrians and vehicles during the day.
3. At night and in the evening, mark the area with red lights.
4. Call representatives of enterprises with communication networks underground.

Plaques with the name of the organization carrying out the events are hung on the fences. If the work affects the schedule or routes of public transport, the contractor is obliged to inform the population through the media. The installation of road signs, fences, the creation of temporary crossings and crossings is carried out by the means and forces of the organization performing the activities. In this case, the contractor is guided by the approved schemes for their placement. Deviation from them during the production process is not allowed. The contractor may proceed with the implementation of measures only after the site is fully equipped with all necessary fences, signs and means of signaling. The personnel involved in the production of work must have special clothing and PPE in accordance with the type of activity and the conditions for its implementation.

Special rules

During the excavation of pits / trenches on highways, it is forbidden to store soil on the roadway. All materials must be placed within the enclosed area. Soil, which is unsuitable for backfilling, is removed during the course of work. In the process of eliminating damage to thermal, sewer, water supply networks, it is forbidden to pump water to the carriageway, pavement territory and other places from where it can come to the road surface. It is forbidden to flood wells of underground structures with building materials and soil. They should be freely accessible at all times. Backfill of pits and trenches in areas with improved coating is carried out, in accordance with the standards, with careful ramming.

Restoration of elements of improvement

It is carried out by the excavator by his own means and forces, or in agreement with the object's asset holder. In the latter case, the prepayment is transferred to the current account in the amount of replacement cost. The amount of damage caused to the object of improvement is established by the balance holder. Moreover, he is guided by the methodology for determining replacement cost. If the entity that damaged or destroyed the landscaping object is not installed, the necessary measures are carried out at the expense of the owner.

Contractor Responsibility

Organization of maintenance, repair and other work should be carried out in accordance with the design and technical documentation and other papers. In the process, performers, among other things, are guided by state standards. Administrative punishment is established for entities in the event of:

1. Earthworks in the absence of a warrant.
2. Overlap of the carriageway without coordination with the territorial division of the traffic police.
