For utility companies, pipeline operators, and large property owners in East Texas, maintaining a clear right-of-way (ROW) is not just a matter of convenience—it’s a critical necessity for safety, access, and compliance. Arrowhead Outdoor Services provides professional ROW clearing and maintenance to ensure your access routes remain open and unobstructed year-round.
What is Right-of-Way Clearing?
A right-of-way is a type of easement that grants the right to pass through a property. These corridors are essential for infrastructure like utility lines, pipelines, and access roads. ROW clearing is the process of removing trees, brush, and any other obstructions from these designated paths. Ultimately, the goal is to ensure that maintenance crews, inspectors, and emergency services have safe and immediate access at all times.
The Importance of a Clear Right-of-Way
An overgrown ROW can lead to significant problems. For example:
- Service Interruptions: Trees growing into power lines are a leading cause of outages.
- Safety Hazards: Overgrowth can conceal dangers like pipeline markers or unstable ground, and it poses a significant fire risk.
- Access Issues: Dense vegetation can prevent maintenance vehicles and crews from reaching critical infrastructure for inspections or repairs, causing costly delays.
- Compliance Violations: Many industries have strict regulatory requirements for ROW maintenance. Failure to comply can result in heavy fines.
