A coexistence study is needed when a new investment is built close to an overhead or underground power line that is in operation. The typical cases are buildings, roads, industrial platforms and utility networks that reach into the protection zone of the electrical installations. The network operator can ask for the coexistence documentation before issuing the siting approval.
Services
Coexistence studies
We check whether an investment can coexist with the existing electrical installations and set out the technical measures required for permitting, construction and operation without unnecessary risk.
ANRE context
The work follows the documentation operators require for sites in the vicinity of electrical networks. The study clarifies clearances, protection zones, risks and any diversion, protection or site-clearance works.
In brief
What this service solves
A coexistence study establishes whether an investment can be built next to existing electrical networks and which technical measures are required for permitting, construction and safe operation.
ANRE D1 attestation0.4 kV - 400 kVRomania and the Republic of Moldova
01
Input
We take over the site plans, the location data and the operator's requirements.
02
Analysis
We identify the electrical installations affected and the neighbouring conditions.
03
Documentation
We calculate the risks, the clearances and the technical measures required.
04
Permitting
We deliver the study, the drawings and the list of measures for permitting.
When it is needed
- A coexistence study is needed when a new investment is built close to an overhead or underground power line that is in operation.
- The typical cases are buildings, roads, industrial platforms and utility networks that reach into the protection zone of the electrical installations.
- The network operator can ask for the coexistence documentation before issuing the siting approval.
Documents to start from
- A coexistence study starts from the site plan and from the topographic survey of the location.
- The urban planning certificate or the design brief sets the limits of the investment.
- The approvals and conditions received from the network operator show what the study has to demonstrate.
- The technical data on the proposed investment completes the starting set.
Main deliverables
- The client receives the coexistence study, with the conclusion on whether the investment is compatible with the neighbouring electrical installations.
- The study includes the mitigation plan for the risks identified.
- The deliverables contain the drawings and technical extracts needed for permitting.
- The documentation states the recommendations for diversion, protection or site clearance.
Decisions it settles
- The study shows whether the investment can stay on the site without additional works.
- It establishes whether protection measures or a network diversion are required.
- It states which conditions have to be written into the permitting documentation.
