Excavations/Works
Non-excavation Works
When adding the details of the works to a surface, a new type is available called Non-excavation works.
This new works type can be used for recording details of works to roadways/verges which, whilst not requiring an excavation, require a licence as they may affect traffic or affect the surface of the road. This should be selected for works such as inspection chamber opening or cabling works.
The following applies to non-excavation works:
•No reinstatement deposits or long-term impact charges.
•Surface details required are limited to: Part of the Road, Traffic Impact and Length.
•Each works segment surface must be marked as Complete or Works Not Done.
•No guarantee period will apply for a licence that only has non-excavation works or works not done.
Licences with Non-Excavation Works marked as Complete
If a T5 has been submitted for a licence that only contains non-excavation works marked as Complete then the Accept T5 option will be shown.
An option will be provided to close the licence early if deemed appropriate.
Licences with Works Not Done can be pushed from T5 Sign-off to Closeout
If a T5 has been submitted for a licence that only contains works with a status of 'Works Not Done' then the Accept T5 option will not appear. Instead, the licensing authority can push the licence from T5 Sign-off to Licence Closeout by selecting the Close out Licence option.
Licences that fall into this category can be found on the Licensing Tasks lists under the Inspections > T5 Signoff - No Excavation menu.
Date reinstatement completed
When closing an excavation (including for non-excavation works), the applicant must enter the date the reinstatement was actually completed.
New Reinstatement Types and Actions
A reinstatement can now be identified as being a temporary reinstatement or (permanent) complete reinstatement.
An applicant can now state whether a surface requires reinstatement by the licensing authority.
In order to close a temporary reinstatement, the applicant must have completed a reinstatement under a new licence, which is in the guarantee stage or later. This will require acceptance by the licensing authority. Applicant action: The applicant must provide the code of the licence on which the reinstatement has been completed. This must be a licence in one of the following stages: Guarantee Period, Closeout Sign-off, Closeout Certification, Closeout Certification Rejected, Closeout Certification Sign-off, Licence Closeout, Closed Licence. Licensing Authority Action: The licensing authority will be notified of the action taken by the applicant and must review and confirm acceptance, or the appropriate action required.

LA Reinstatement Extract: A Licensing Authority Reinstatement Extract will be generated daily and will contain details of all closed LA Reinstatements surfaces. |
