Why It Matters
Federal regulations (49 CFR 192.705 for gas and 49 CFR 195.412 for liquid pipelines) require operators to regularly inspect and maintain visible, accessible ROWs. When vegetation obscures access, compliance and safety both fail, and liability increases. SmartROW ensures your ROWs stay inspection-ready, audit-defensible, environmentally responsible, and clear for maintenance crews – while being all data driven.
PHMSA / DOT / API priorities addressed:
• ROWs must allow safe and productive aerial and ground patrols
• Surface conditions must remain visible and accessible
• Emergency access must be maintained
• Activities must be documented and defensible during audits
