Short answer
Gökkaya Hafriyat carries out excavation for telephone and communication lines in Famagusta (Gazimağusa) and İskele, North Cyprus. The work means opening a trench for the cable or protective conduit and closing it after the line has been laid.
How is telephone line trenching planned?
- The connection point and route are confirmed.
- Electricity, water and sewer lines are checked.
- The trench is opened to the required dimensions.
- After the line is laid, the trench is backfilled and compacted.
Which authority should you consult?
For fixed telephone infrastructure in North Cyprus, speak to the Telecommunications Department (Telekomünikasyon Dairesi). The connection point and requirements are confirmed during the application. Getting this information before digging reduces the risk of changes later.
Can a telephone line share a trench with an electrical line?
That depends on the authorities’ requirements and the type of line. If you are considering a shared trench, ask about the required separation distance before digging.

Frequently asked questions
- Will my whole garden be dug up for a telephone line?
- Usually only a narrow trench is opened along the route. If landscaping or a hard surface must be preserved, mole boring may be worth assessing.
- Do you dig for fibre lines too?
- Share the type of line and the provider’s requirements. We can review the scope based on that information.
- Is a permit needed?
- A permit may be needed if the work affects a public road or pavement. Check current requirements with the municipality and the relevant authority.
