Pipeline Drawings and Information

Before starting construction it is essential to obtain drawings showing the location of underground pipelines before beginning any construction work. Note that drawings from the municipal web viewer should not be used. This applies to both inside and outside property boundaries.

• Applying for Pipeline Drawings: You can apply for pipeline drawings here.

• Viewing Pipelines on Veitur's Web Viewer: You can view the pipelines on Veitur's web viewer here.

Note: Veitur's web viewer only shows pipelines from Veitur and Ljósleiðarinn. For drawings of pipelines from other utility companies or municipalities, you need to contact the respective party.

Safety Precautions Before Digging

Drawings may contain inaccuracies, so it is crucial to have our fault locators identify the exact locations of the utility lines before digging. They emphasize that it is better to be called out too often than not enough. Our fault locators are equipped with advanced tools to detect cables and pipes or measure them from fixed points.

This service is free of charge. To use it, please provide the following information here:

• The exact location of the area to be inspected.

• Contact information.

• The types of lines or equipment to locate (cables, pipes, etc.).

High-Voltage Cables:

Note that it is prohibited to dig or excavate within 3 meters of where 132,000 V high-voltage cables are located.

To ensure the safety of contractors and the reliability of the power supply, Veitur, where possible, will de-energize high-voltage cables. Keep in mind that the processing time for disconnecting lines is 4 days.

General Safety on the Worksite:

• Locate All Pipes and Cables: Ensure all pipes and cables are correctly identified with the help of fault locators.

• High-Voltage Cables: Follow safety regulations and maintain the proper distance from high-voltage cables.

By following these precautions, you ensure safety on the worksite.
