In the strict sense of the word, right-of-way refers to the land on which infrastructure is built. Infrastructure could be anything from a highway, airport, or power lines. Projects such as power lines, pipelines, or telephone facilities all require right-of-way.
SIEC uses right-of-way to build and maintain power lines. We maintain right-of-way areas by controlling brush and tree regrowth in all easement areas. Right-of-way is usually on private land and is obtained by an agreement with the current landowner when new poles and wires are installed. SIEC doesn’t own private land but is legally granted the right by the landowner to maintain brush and tree regrowth.
