Pipelines

Plant planners and manufacturers

Are you planning a modification of the mode of operation of your pipeline, a change of media, the construction of a new pipe bridge over a body of water or the construction of new pipeline sections? Changes to long-distance pipelines usually require extensive planning approval, planning permission or notification procedures in accordance with the requirements of the UVPG (Environmental Impact Assessment Act) or the Pipeline Ordinance. Changes to existing pipelines are usually accompanied by a high level of planning effort and a need for coordination both on the part of the authorities involved and on the planning side. The weyer group can look back on a large number of successfully approved pipeline projects in recent years, which it has supervised from the initial idea through to successful approval. Tailored to your specific needs, we offer you individual solutions for approval procedures in the field of pipelines and support you from the preparation of documents and expert opinions to the monitoring of the entire approval procedure.

Our services

Do you know for sure whether your current pipeline operation is still compliant with the existing permits? We compare the target/actual status of the existing permits for your pipelines and make concrete recommendations for action. Recommendations for action can be, for example, the adaptation of internal or external documents or the need to adapt the permit situation. Within the framework of a risk analysis, possible advantages and disadvantages are compared with the concrete recommendations for action.

Despite all deregulation approaches, the frequently changing legal bases require extensive detailed knowledge. Depending on the length and dimension of the pipeline and the medium to be transported, changes to existing pipelines must either be notified or require planning approval in accordance with the UVPG. In the case of watercourse crossings or the course of the pipeline in the embankment area of watercourses, it is necessary to integrate further applications for approval in accordance with the WHG, LWG etc. In some cases, environmental impact assessments may also be necessary. We provide competent advice on the type of procedure, the subject of the application, the scope of the application and the required expert opinions and support you in dealing with the authorities.

Modifications of existing pipelines are usually accompanied by a high planning effort and need for coordination at both municipal and district government level as well as on the planning side. During the process of preparing the permit application, the project participants such as pipeline operators/owners and planners must be coordinated. In addition, the coordination with the authorities and the experts recognised according to TRFL as well as the preparation of the necessary documents for the authority procedure must take place.
