Why Right of Way Clearing Matters to Your Operation

Power lines, pipelines, communication corridors, and transportation easements must remain free of vegetation and obstacles that could interfere with operations or pose safety risks. Unmanaged vegetation can:

  • Cause service interruptions and outages when trees or limbs contact lines.
  • Create dangerous working conditions for your crews and the public.
  • Obstruct access for maintenance and emergency response.
  • Increase long-term maintenance costs and wildfire risk.

A clear right of way is foundational to safety, continuity, and regulatory compliance.
