What is Right-Of-Way Clearing?
Right-Of-Way Clearing is when they clear the trees, bushes, and other plants away from the land so that the people who work on the utility lines can do their job safely. This is important because it ensures that the people who work on the lines can access the site, and it also prevents things like trees from falling on the lines and causing damage.
Before power, gas, and telephone lines can be installed or cell phone towers put up, the area where they will go needs to be cleared. This means that all the trees and bushes need to be chopped down, and the land needs to be made smooth so that it is safe for workers to access. Workers need to do this before anything grows too big and becomes a problem. That way, we can ensure that nothing interferes with or harms our valuable infrastructure.
Benefits
The benefits of right-of-way clearing include:
Increased safety for workers and the public. Clearing away the utility right-of-way means that there is less of a chance for someone to get injured. This is because there will be less clutter and things are easily accessible. It also makes it easier for people to see what is going on around them, so they can avoid any accidents.
Reduced risk of outages and service interruptions. Utility right-of-way clearing helps reduce the risk of outages and service interruptions. This is because when trees and other objects are near power lines, they can cause problems and lead to blackouts.
Improved reliability of utility services. When the power or water goes out, it's usually because something is blocking the utility company's right-of-way. Clearing away the trees and bushes that are in the way can help make sure that there's enough space for the utility workers to do their job and fix whatever is wrong.
Enhanced aesthetic appearance of the right-of-way. The right-of-way needs to be cleared of trees and other plants so that the area looks nicer.
Right-Of-Way Clearing Uses
Utility right-of-way clearing is used in areas where there are utilities. This might include:
Highways. When there is too much growth or debris in this area, it can create dangerous traffic conditions. That's why it's important to have right-of-way clearing done regularly.
Railways. Railways need to have right-of-way clearing because they need to keep the area clear for traffic and for expanding their services.
Oil and gas lease access and pipes. Oil and gas pipes need to be on land that has been reserved for transportation purposes. This is so they can be safe and people can use the roads and other transportation services.
The right-of-way is used to keep the area safe for the people who use it and for the people who work on it.
