WHAT ARE SURFACE & RIGHT OF WAY SERVICES?
Surface land services encompass various activities related to acquiring land or property rights needed for infrastructure projects such as utility work, transportation, midstream and telecommunications. These services ensure that projects can proceed without legal or logistical hindrances, safeguarding both the project’s integrity and the property owner’s rights.
ROW and Surface Acquisition

PLM’s team of experts facilitates these negotiations, ensuring fair compensation and addressing any concerns landowners may have. This process is crucial for projects requiring access to private or public land.

Surface Land Services Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
-
A right-of-way is a specific type of easement that grants the right to pass through someone else's land, typically for transportation routes like roads or utility lines. In contrast, an easement is a broader term that allows for specific uses of another person's property, such as laying utility lines or accessing a landlocked parcel. While right-of-way focuses on passage and transport, easements can cover various other purposes and do not necessarily involve the right to travel across the land.
