Placement permit
- Permit or other obligation
- Turku
- Public service
You need a placement permit when you intend to install cables, structures or equipment in a street, park or other public area. You do not need a placement permit for repairing existing cables and equipment, but you must still apply for dig and fence permits for the work.
Do the following
Apply for the placement permit in the Urban Environment e-services.
The application must be accompanied by a site plan and a cross-section showing the planned placement of the structures and equipment in the public area. When the placement plan is approved, a terrain inspection may be carried out by a representative of the city and the person responsible for the work. The final location of the wire, cable or structure is agreed upon in the terrain survey.
To whom and on what terms
The person responsible for the work must apply for the permit for the placement of cables and equipment from the city. The party commissioning the work is always responsible for the permit, even though the contractor may be mandated to apply for it.
