SMART-ROW IS A STRATEGIC
VEGETATION MANAGEMENT PROGRAM DESIGNED TO:
DELIVER MODELED LIFECYCLE SAVINGS OF UP TO ~20% WHEN PROPERLY IMPLEMENTED
IMPROVE VISIBILITY FOR AERIAL PATROLS AND GROUND INSPECTIONS
IMPROVE SAFETY POLICIES AND REDUCE RISK EXPOSURE FOR WORKERS
SUPPORTS ESG AND SUSTAINABILITY INITIATIVES
CONTROL REGROWTH — NOT JUST REACT TO IT. STOP IT IN ITS TRACKS AND REDUCE MOWING FREQUENCY.
GIS MAPPING TO ASSESS, DOCUMENT, AND MONITOR YOUR ENTIRE RIGHT-OF-WAY PROGRAM
IDENTIFYING STEEP SLOPES AND CHALLENGING TERRAIN — AND DEPLOYING THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT TO TACKLE THEM SAFELY
PIPELINE OPERATORS ADOPTING SMARTROW AREN’T JUST MAINTAINING ROW, THEY’RE ALSO SETTING THE NEXT STANDARD FOR THE INDUSTRY.
Note: Savings are based on modeled program performance and may vary depending on terrain, vegetation type, and execution.
COMMON CHALLENGES IN TRADITIONAL ROW PROGRAMS
RAPID REGROWTH
Mechanical clearing leaves active root systems that quickly regenerate woody vegetation.
LABOR INTENSIVE WORK
Increased labor requirements raise safety exposure and operational costs.
LIMITED DOCUMENTATION
Without consistent assessments, it’s difficult to track vegetation pressure or optimize budgets.
CHALLENGING TERRAIN
Slopes and mountainous terrain require specialized equipment and present increased safety risks.
Fluctuating Budgets
Our program strategically plans the cycle and allows for flat lined budgeting while ensuring key areas are tackled each year
The same GIS insight and strategic planning that make SmartROW efficient can also turn your right-of-way into something more valuable. With roughly 12 million acres of pipeline ROW across the U.S., there’s a real opportunity to convert managed corridors into beneficial habitat for pollinators and wildlife—supporting your ESG goals while reducing long-term vegetation costs. See how Integrated Habitat Management fits into the picture.
