Third Party Crossing

Third party requests are required for activities near power lines including:

• Any equipment or infrastructure (such as pipelines, access roads, fibre optic, temporary access, water sewer lines) crossing overhead power lines or underground cables.
• Any equipment operating within 7 metres of an overhead power line.
• Any ground disturbance within 8 metres from an overhead power line (including anchors, guys, poles, and tower bases).
• Installation of hazardous facilities (including well sites, tanks, valve/riser sites, meter stations) within 40 metres of an overhead power line or underground cable.

You can request a third party crossing by completing an application through My Account.

If you need to cancel your application or require changes to a previously submitted application, please email landserv@fortisalberta.com noting the FortisAlberta reference number. Please include a revised request letter and survey plans for required changes.
