For electrical designs to come to life, TEDAŞ design approval, distribution company processes, and municipal permit procedures must be completed in full. These processes demand simultaneous correspondence with different authorities, revision tracking, and technical advocacy; managed without experience, they become the stage where a project loses the most time.
Miratek runs approval and permit processes on a single-point-of-contact model. Approval files are prepared complete at first submission; single-line diagrams, calculation reports, and annexes are formatted to the relevant authority's current template. Revision requests from the authorities are assessed with their technical rationale and resolved quickly, and the client is kept informed of every step throughout the process.
The advantage of working with a team that also does the design in-house shows itself here: revisions are resolved within the same team without shuttling back and forth to an external design office, and the approval time shortens.

How We Work
File Preparation
Approval designs, calculation reports, and application documents are prepared to the relevant authority's current format.
Application
The file is submitted to the relevant authority; application records and the process timeline are shared with the client.
Revision Tracking
Opinions and revision requests from the authority are assessed with technical justification and answered promptly.
Approval
The approved designs are collected, and the permits and documents required for the execution stage are completed.
Acceptance Processes
Once the installation is complete, the authority acceptance and energization processes are carried out, formally concluding the work.
Scope of Work
- Management of TEDAŞ and distribution company design approval processes
- Follow-up of permit procedures before the municipality and the relevant administrations
- Preparation of approval files, single-line diagrams, and calculation reports
- Handling authority revision requests and providing technical advocacy
- Management of provisional acceptance, final acceptance, and energization processes
- Regular status reporting throughout the process
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the approval process drag on — can it be sped up?
Most delays stem from files submitted incomplete or off-format, and from revision requests answered late. Submitting a complete file in the authority's format at first application is the single biggest accelerator. Responding to revision requests quickly and with technical justification also shortens waiting times markedly.
Another firm drew the design — will you take on just the approval follow-up?
Yes, the approval process for existing designs can be taken over. The file first goes through a pre-check, gaps are identified against the authority's criteria, and it is revised where needed before submission. This pre-check reduces the rejection and revision loops experienced at the authority stage.
Does the process end once approval is obtained?
No — approval is the start of execution. When the installation is complete, distribution company acceptance procedures and the energization process are carried out; the facility cannot be energized before this stage is closed. In the turnkey model, this final step is also concluded by the same team.
