Engineering · D.01.1
The best route from A to B for medium voltage, low voltage, gas, water and data. From first route study to a buildable design to NLCS and the grid operator’s requirements.
D.01.1Route engineering
Each component can be ordered separately. Together they form one drawing that you see grow in the client portal.
We map the assignment and work out one or more routes from A to B. For each alternative we identify the bottlenecks: crossings, space in the profile, trees, ownership and permit requirements.
ResultRoute advice with alternatives and a substantiated preference
We develop the chosen route from preliminary design through final design to construction design. Drawings to NLCS and each grid operator’s requirements, with dimensions, cross-sections and details.
ResultDrawing set per phase, with your approval of VO and DO
We record where the route crosses roads, watercourses and railways, and which technique fits each crossing. Where a trenchless crossing is needed, the bore design follows in the same file.
ResultCrossing overview with the technique per crossing
We identify where the route meets existing cables and pipelines. Each interface gets a risk class, a measure and an alignment status per grid operator.

Don’t have everything yet? A proposed route or a question is enough to start.
Everything is stored in your project file in the client portal, also after handover.
Because design and fieldwork sit with one team, we verify the design with a trial trench where needed. What we find goes straight into the drawing.
Yes. We draw to the Dutch CAD standard NLCS, supplemented by the grid operator’s specific requirements. If you use your own drawing standard, we agree on it in advance.
Drawings as DWG and PDF, and the design as DXF in RD coordinates, so you can use it directly in your own CAD or GIS environment.
Every drawing is checked by a second engineer before it is sent to you. In the client portal you then approve or reject it, with a note.

D.01.2Trenchless techniquesWhere open excavation is not possible or not allowed, we design a trenchless crossing: from choice of technique and bore profile to permit drawing and as-drilled.View service
D.01.3CalculationsA design is only buildable if the numbers add up. We calculate trench profiles, cover, settlement and crossings, and record the assumptions.View service
D.03Trial trenchesWhere the KLIC delivery leaves doubt, we dig a trial trench. What we find is surveyed and processed straight into the design.View service
