Understanding the Importance of Reliable ROW Pipeline Contractors
Reliable pipeline contractors are essential to ensure your business’s safety and maintain your pipelines’ integrity. Right of way clearing is a key component of damage prevention and a necessity in the installation and maintenance of your pipeline. Investing time in a reliable contractor is beneficial to your project because an unreliable ROW pipeline contractor could cause damage to your pipeline, landowner relations, and unneeded safety violations or incidents. ROW clearing is much more involved than simply clearing brush for a new project site. At Lanracorp, we have the specialized equipment to handle any vegetation and grade of terrain, as well as employees professionally trained at trimming the tallest canopies, felling trees, removing stumps, and mulching.
What to Look for in ROW Pipeline Contractors
There are many different qualities to look for in a successful ROW pipeline contractor. The first crucial step for any reliable contracting team is an expert project manager or land agent. They’re responsible for executing the highest level of quality and care when planning, overseeing, and inspecting a project. Contracting teams utilizing every role on and off project sites bring unique perspectives to every project and ensure you receive the services and results you deserve. These roles include on-site supervision, safety management, and compliance with environmental regulations. Along with a well-built team, a reliable ROW pipeline contractor must possess years of experience, a solid reputation, strong communication skills, a track record of completing successfully, and a proactive safety team.
Credentials and Experience
As part of our contracting team at Lanracorp, we have highly trained foreman and safety managers to provide the most preeminent work. All employees are thoroughly trained in the classroom and the field, including leadership training. Training allows them to successfully achieve our goals of quality and safety standards, identify potential risks, and actively work to minimize all risks throughout the project. Aside from training programs, experience is essential in handling pipeline maintenance, and we have cleared over 1500 miles of pipeline in the last year alone. At Lanracorp, we conduct regular in-field audits and evaluate every past project. This allows us to learn from and improve our past projects and procedures in order to improve all aspects of future projects.
Compliance and Safety Measures
At Lanracorp, we understand the importance of complying with environmental regulations that work to minimize environmental impact and detect any potential challenges. Our team can help obtain environmental permits from local, state, or federal regulatory agencies. We can review permit applications and provide guidance to ensure all regulations are followed on-site. Safety is the standard at Lanracorp, and a safety manager is an invaluable member of any contract team. Safety managers ensure the team is operating the equipment correctly and executing the project as safely as possible. Safety managers also work closely with the team to train workers on how to successfully use equipment, identify potential hazards, and minimize costs that might have occurred from any potential hazards or incorrect use of equipment on-site. Our team is provided OSHA-required training as well as industry-relevant training through The Better Contractor. At Lanracorp, safety is a culture.
Equipment and Resources
Equipment and resources help keep employees and their surroundings safe. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is vital to stay safe on and off the job. We understand that PPE needs to be adjusted every season, and we created PPE guidelines that we follow at Lanracorp to work diligently to prioritize safety. Modern equipment also helps ensure safety measures are exceeded and clear your project site efficiently. As technology continues to develop, we keep finding more effective ways to keep employees on the job site safe. Some modern technology we incorporate in our job sites is remote control equipment, such as remote-control Jarraffs and mowers. Benefits of remote-control equipment include removing employees from the line of fire, gaining more visibility of the project, and allowing employees to tackle steep slopes and terrain safely.
Reputation and References
When quality work is produced, reputation is built. If a contractor is reliable, you will be able to tell from their peers, clients, and suppliers who work closely with them. By reading online reviews and checking company ratings, you will feel confident in the workmanship and professionalism any contracting team will bring to your job site. Lanracorp has a 96% customer retention rate and is proud of its nearly 5-star rating, speaking for itself on the quality we bring to every client.
Cost and Value
Establishing a balance between cost and value provided by ROW contractors calls for investing time in evaluating their quotes and proposals. Contractors who plan, communicate clearly, and have experienced employees and newer equipment will perform significantly better than contractors who misbid the project or lack experience. Companies that value the cost and quality of their services will also implement quality control and learn from past feedback and experience. Evaluating all aspects of a potential contractor will help you determine the best value for your investment.
