Storm Cleanup Services for Industrial and Utility Sites

  • Tree trimming, felling, and removal
  • Debris chipping, hauling, and disposal
  • Roadway and access route clearing and reopening
  • Right-of-way corridor clearing post-storm
  • Aerial drone assessment for damage mapping

Industries We Serve

Our storm and emergency cleanup teams are experienced across a range of industrial environments:

  • Pipeline and Oil & Gas: ROW corridor clearing, vegetation removal near pipeline infrastructure, and post-storm site assessments.
  • Utilities and Power: Fast-response clearing along transmission and distribution corridors, restoration of access to substations and infrastructure.
  • Railroads: Debris and tree removal from active and inactive rail lines to restore safe passage.
  • Industrial Facilities: Emergency grounds cleanup for refineries, manufacturing sites, and other large industrial properties.

Before the Storm: Standby Emergency Coverage

Proactive planning is always more effective than reactive response. Lanracorp offers standby emergency response agreements for pipeline operators, utilities, and industrial clients who need guaranteed mobilization in the event of a storm or natural disaster. Our standby coverage includes:

  • Pre-negotiated response times and mobilization protocols
  • Dedicated crew and equipment allocation
  • Priority dispatch ahead of general service requests
  • Pre-storm site assessments and risk identification

Contact us to discuss standby rates and coverage terms for your region.

After the Storm: Rapid Response and Site Restoration

Once a storm passes, our teams mobilize fast. We use aerial drone services to conduct real-time damage assessments before ground crews move in, giving us a complete picture of the site and allowing us to deploy the right equipment from the start.

Our post-storm process:

  • Aerial damage assessment via drone imaging
  • Crew and equipment mobilization to site
  • Hazard identification and safety zone establishment
  • Debris removal, chipping, and transport
  • Roadway and access restoration
  • Site cleanup and documentation
  • Erosion control and land restoration as needed

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can Lanracorp respond to a storm emergency?

Response time depends on your location, storm conditions, and whether you have a standby agreement in place. Clients with standby coverage receive priority mobilization. Contact us directly to discuss response time expectations for your region.

What types of storms or emergencies does Lanracorp respond to?

We respond to a wide range of events including tornadoes, ice storms, wind events, flooding, and other natural disasters that cause debris accumulation, downed trees, blocked access routes, or damage to industrial sites and right-of-way corridors.
