"Le réseau HTA existant est situé sous la RD 118 de section 2402 Alu.
Suivant la demande (1250 KVA), la desserte du lot sera assurée par la création de poste transformateur privée raccordé en coupure d'artère sur le réseau HTA en 2402 AL crée sous les voies publics du Parc de XX."
(The final '2' in 2402 in the second sentence is in superscript).

cross-section 240 mm² Aluminium
The "2" is a superscript and means "square". "2050 mm²" is a common cross-section.

What is the current carrying capacity of 240 Sq mm?
Answer:
A 240 sq. mm. cable has a diameter of
d=square root of 4A/3.14
d= 2(square root of A/3.14)
= 2(square root of 240/3.14
=17.48 mm.
Therefore your cable has a capacity of only 515 amperes in free air. If installed in a duct with three conductors your conductor will have an ampacity of only 350 ampers.
Alternative Answer
The answer is not straightforward, because it depends upon various factors such as the material from which the conductor is manufactured (copper or aluminium), the type of insulation employed, and the configuration of the cable (how many conductors), installation method, etc.

Note: I know these cables with such sections from my previous experience (I was educated electrician and studied electrical engineering).
