How does BGE prepare for a construction project?
BGE will prepare a detailed gas and electric installation design, including the specific plans needed for our construction crews to perform the work. We will apply for the utility permits required for the installation of our facilities. The time this takes varies, depending on the location and type of permit.
How does BGE install gas and electric lines?
BGE will install the gas and/or electric lines: Expect heavy equipment, such as backhoes, to be working around your facility. Crews from BGE or BGE contractor crews will install your lines from the gas and electric mains to the meter location. Construction equipment may be left overnight.
How long does BGE have to call Miss Utility?
BGE will call Miss Utility to mark the existing public underground utility lines (electric, gas, cable TV, phones, water, sewer, etc.). Miss Utility requires 48-hour notice.
What happens if BGE deviates from standard practices?
Reminder, anytime BGE is required to deviate from our standard practices and procedures, you will be responsible for all additional costs. A Designer will contact you to confirm that the initial information you gave BGE is still accurate.
When to apply for a BGE Service permit?
The Service Application provides BGE an accurate description of your service request, including the anticipated gas and/or electric requirements to initiate your job. In order for BGE to meet your requested service date, you MUST contact us by submitting the Service Application as soon as you receive your building permit.
