Before staring your works please note, keep to the regulations
Decree no. 91.1147 Measures to be taken during preparation of works plans: Request for information.
Art 4- Any public or private natural or legal person who plans to carry out works on the territory of a commune must, at the planning preparation stage, obtain information from the local authority of this commune about the existence and any areas for installation of any structures.
Art 7- Companies, including subcontractors or members of consortiums, which are responsible for carrying out the works, should send a statement of intention to start the works to each operator of a structure affected by the works.
Please note, for everyone’s safety
The pipelines that make up this network are installed in both the public and private domain and they are buried at variable depths depending on the land they cross.
Damage to a pipeline, even if it looks slight may cause an incident or accident compromising the safety of people and property. Repair is costly for all parties involved.
As a result, TIGF hereby informs you :
- that the layouts of its pipelines (zoning plans) are deposited with the town councils of the communes they cross
- that the régulations oblige :
- clients and project managers to obtain information by requests sent to the TIGF operating sectors to find out the location and depth of networks and the technical constraints related with their présence
- any person carrying out works near gas transport pipelines, to send to TIGF, ten calendar days before the planned date for the start of the works, a statement of intention to start the works.
To limit incidents as far as possible during underground works, TIGF is at your disposal for :
- replying to your requests for information, etc.
- giving you all information on the position of its high pressure gas transport pipelines,
- telling you about the precautions to take for works near its pipelines
- carrying out, free of charge, location and marking of the pipeline(s) concerned in the area of the planned works.
