Laying of a pipeline

Several planning permission procedures

Permission procedures based on best course

Fluxys first maps out different possible routes of the pipeline. In dialogue with the authorities and utilities concerned, a preferential route is chosen. Once the best route has been identified, several planning permission procedures must be completed for a pipeline:

  • Declaration of Public Utility (DUP);
  • any process relating to the environmental impact assessment (EIA);
  • revision of the sector plan;
  • transport licence;
  • planning permit;
  • environmental permit, if needed.

Wide consultation

The local authorities and the owners and operators of the plots of land affected are consulted several times during the planning permission procedure. Fluxys only begins laying pipelines once all these procedures have been completed positively.

Tips for using search operators

Use "quotation marks" to search for a series of words or a phrase in a specific order.

Boolean operators

You can find a group of words or a phrase by using the link words AND, OR and NOT:
known as Boolean operators, these words are used to combine terms in the search field.

  • AND: All the search terms must be included in the publication. Typing in Apple AND Pear will return publications containing both the word Apple and the word Pear.

     

  • OR :  At least one of the search terms must be included in the publication. Typing in Apple OR Pear will return publications containing either the word Apple or the word Pear or both.

     

  • NOT: The term preceded by NOT must not be included in the publication. Typing in Apple NOT Pear will return publications containing the word Apple but not the word Pear.
