Who Should Attend:
Engineering personnel and others who would benefit from an understanding of current electric utility engineering principles and practices.
Overview:
The best-designed power line is useless without land to build it on. Acquiring easements from property owners to cross over their land and potentially cut their trees may be the hardest part of distribution line staking. In this webinar, you will learn best practices for obtaining easements and review pitfalls to avoid.
