Proactive Landowner Coordination Keeps Transmission Project Construction on Schedule
Early stakeholder engagement and strategic planning helped streamline property access, meet landowner requirements, and ensure uninterrupted construction progress on a major transmission project.
The Situation
Percheron supported a new transmission infrastructure project that required construction access across multiple tracts owned by a single landowner. Prior to clearing and construction activities, the landowner requested the use of custom gates installed by their own fencing contractor to maintain consistency with existing property infrastructure. The project team needed to accommodate the request while ensuring construction access would be available without causing delays to the overall schedule.
The Strategy
Our team coordinated early with landowner representatives, project stakeholders, and construction personnel to develop a clear implementation plan. Through proactive communication and planning, we facilitated an agreement that allowed the landowner's fencing contractor to install the required right-of-way gates before clearing activities began. Gate installation was carefully scheduled to align with construction sequencing, enabling clearing crews to move directly behind installation crews and maintain uninterrupted access to each tract.
The Success
By addressing the landowner's request well in advance of construction, Percheron helped eliminate potential access delays and ensured a seamless transition into field activities. The coordinated approach balanced project requirements with landowner preferences, resulting in a successful outcome for all parties involved. Strong communication, stakeholder alignment, and proactive planning allowed construction activities to proceed on schedule while fostering positive landowner relationships and supporting overall project success.
