Pipeline Right of Way

You Have a Role to Play in Pipeline Safety

A pipeline Right-of-Way is the strip of land over a buried pipeline. If you are planning to dig or disturb the ground near a pipeline right of way, it is your responsibility to ensure that your activities don’t disturb the pipeline. Prior to starting any type of ground disturbance work, you are required to Call or Click Before You Dig. Learn how to obtain a crossing agreement from Gibson.
