Pipeline operators will regularly conduct aerial and ground inspections to check right-of-way conditions, test for leaks, install and maintain pipeline makers, and clear brush that restricts access to the right-of-way or visibility during inspections. Right-of-way vegetation clearing is a crucial aspect of line maintenance that enables increased visibility and access to the pipeline. Rights-of-way are kept clear of trees, brush, and other obstructions so the pipeline operator can safely operate, inspect, maintain, and repair its pipelines. Such clearing may also enhance the integrity of the pipe itself, as noxious growth is kept off the top of the line. When gas or oil lines become “lost” and unkempt, they become a safety concern for the community and for pipeliners. With this said, ROW mowing is seemingly simple — remove unwanted trees and brush, allow the ROW to become visible for pipeline management and the community, and leave a visually appealing path behind.
