Top 5 Benefits of Right of Way Clearing
Lanracorp offers multiple services, but Right of Way Clearing is an important one. ROW Clearing is the process of removing, cutting down, or trimming vegetation so it is out of the way of infrastructure (above or below ground). Below we showcase five different benefits of performing ROW Clearing.
All-Around Safety
One of the top priorities for any business should be safety, especially when it comes to using heavy machinery. With ROW clearing, safety goes beyond the workers performing the task and extends to landowners and customers. Clearing the areas of the brush allows for safe and reliable transportation of electricity or oil/gas products.
Ease of Access for Maintenance and Emergencies
It is another top priority to have easy access for maintenance crews and emergency responders to be able to navigate into areas where an emergency or incident has happened. Without Lanracorp’s ROW services, some areas would be near impossible for emergency personnel to get to. Having areas cleared allows stress-free access to all parties who may need to enter those areas in an emergency.
Keeping Pipelines Damage Free
Clearing the brush prevents branches and roots from damaging the pipeline’s coating. Ongoing regular maintenance to keep the brush from regrowing is vital to keeping the pipelines damage-free.
Patrolling Areas for Future Maintenance
Once the initial clearing is done, the visibility is from ground to sky. This visibility allows the operator to perform aerial patrol on their pipeline every two weeks to check for encroachments, leaks, and other issues. Without a clear ROW, this visual check isn’t possible.
Protecting Infrastructure
Lanracorp works to ensure the integrity of our infrastructure. This is done by keeping areas where pipelines, railroads, and power lines are free of anything that may impede them from performing safely. This includes removing trees and branches and keeping the area mowed regularly. On top of that, there are many ways we can inspect the infrastructure to ensure it is buried deep enough, signed correctly to be visible to the public, and also mapped correctly with any issues flagged.
