Right-of-Way Clearing for Power Line Corridors

Mechanical and manual clearing that keeps transmission and distribution corridors safe and accessible.

Keeping Power Line Corridors Open

A right-of-way is the strip of land a power line runs through, and it has to stay open so the line can be inspected, maintained, and repaired. Over time, trees, brush, and undergrowth fill in the corridor and put the line at risk. Our right-of-way clearance service restores and maintains these corridors along transmission and distribution networks. We use mechanical and manual methods, chosen to fit the width of the corridor, the terrain, and the density of growth. The result is a safe, accessible corridor for both the line and the people who maintain it.

  • Mechanical methods cover wide or heavily overgrown corridors efficiently. They are well suited to long stretches where large areas need to be cleared.

  • Hand work is used where equipment cannot reach or where more control is needed, such as tight access, steep ground, or areas close to structures.

  • Corridors differ with the type of line they carry. We plan clearing around the width and conditions of each one, whether it carries transmission or distribution lines.

  • A cleared corridor also has to be reachable. We consider how crews and equipment will get in so the ground is ready for inspection and maintenance.

  • Corridors grow back, so clearing is not a one-time job. Ongoing maintenance is simpler than reclaiming a corridor that has been left to overgrow.
