RIGHT OF WAY PROFESSIONALS WEEK
The second week of June is designated National Right of Way Professionals Week. In order for pipelines, transmission lines or other facilities to be constructed on public and private property, landowners must give permission for the right of way.
#RightofWayProfessionalsWeek
Most often, rights of way are easements granted by landowners to the developer, giving the utility permission to run wires, cables, or pipelines across the landowner's property. Right of Way Professionals around the world has been trained to secure property rights on behalf of third parties by negotiating these easements through negotiations with landowners.
Right of way professionals have a tough job. They have to navigate through all sort of scenarios before and doing a job. They address issues with landowners and organizations to maintain integrity for all. They are skilled individuals who also have to maintain the highest qualifications in order to stay ahead of the changing field.
HOW TO OBSERVE Right of Way Professionals Week
Show your support to the right of way professionals as they work with landowners to complete work. Always practice safety during construction and follow the rules set in place during the work. As always, use #RightofWayProfessionalsWeek to share on social media.
