Course Overview:
This course is part of the Comprehensive Staking Technician Program. Experienced line designers say obtaining the right-of-way easement is the toughest part of staking. A well-designed power line is of little use if it cannot be built on the land. Attendees will also focus on people skills that enable the staking technician to obtain an easement and establish a high level of trust with the customer.
Course Objectives:
In this section, participants will learn about:
- Easement laws
- Land ownership rights
- Titles

- Easement records
- Negotiating skills used to aid in the procurement of an easement
