Pipeline Clearing FAQs

Pipeline ROW clearing in Texas typically costs $5,000-$15,000 per mile for light to moderate vegetation, or $15,000-$35,000+ per mile for heavy timber. Costs depend on ROW width, vegetation density, terrain, and accessibility. Maintenance clearing is typically 40-60% less than initial clearing. We provide detailed per-mile quotes for pipeline projects.

We clear pipeline corridors from 20 feet (survey lines, fiber) up to 200+ feet (major transmission lines). Standard oil & gas gathering lines typically require 50-100 feet. We work to your specification and can adjust width for environmental features, existing infrastructure, or other constraints.

Clearing rates vary significantly with vegetation: Light brush: 3-5 miles/week per crew. Moderate brush/cedar: 1-3 miles/week. Heavy timber: 0.5-1 mile/week. Multiple crews can be deployed for urgent timelines. We provide realistic schedules based on your specific corridor conditions.

We support environmental compliance by: following specified erosion control measures, avoiding marked wetlands and sensitive areas, documenting clearing operations for regulatory review, and coordinating with environmental monitors on-site. We don't prepare environmental permits but work within permit conditions provided by your team.

Yes, we offer annual and multi-year ROW maintenance contracts. Regular maintenance (every 1-3 years depending on regrowth) keeps corridors compliant and costs less than letting vegetation re-establish. We can set up scheduled clearing or respond to as-needed requests.

We serve pipeline projects throughout Texas, with particular experience in the Permian Basin, Eagle Ford Shale, Barnett Shale, and Haynesville regions. We also handle projects in Central Texas, East Texas, and the Gulf Coast. Contact us with your project location for availability.
