Building in an overhead electric easement.

Hello, I am working on a project that might require some grading activity inside a large utility easement. I am looking for a contact on who I can speak with about this matter.

Howdy! @user_zzkhsz

Typically you would want to pair with the city or township to inquire about grading for utility easements. Have you spoken with the local authorities yet?

I have spoken with them. I am actually a Landscape Architect working on a project for a local municipality and they have asked me to reach out to the utility provider (you) to gather some more information. I have tried calling several numbers and customer service folks and haunt gotten many answers. Is there a more specialize group that I can get in touch with?

Gotcha! That is cool, I hope the project goes well. Our teams that handle those style construction projects are unfortunately, not accessible over the phone. I hope it would be okay to ask a few questions. Does the area you are working that would be needed to be paved have an existing Comcast pedestal (metal/plastic box or tube)?

That would be great! We are proposing a short section of 10' wide concrete trail be placed in a 75' Electric Easement as well as some small grading activity that would happen about 30' away from a large transmission tower that is within that same easement. No structures, lines or boxes would need to be touched.

Awesome! Sounds like an amazing project, I hope people will get a lot of use out of that trail. So to narrow this down we are going need some pictures to identify if there is any of our hardware that needs to be moved. I would take those pictures, create a ticket explaining your goals and then a member of our team can touch base to confirm if we green light it, there is still a need to loop in all other utilities to confirm. Truly, cable/intenret is not technically a utility so our presence in those easements usually is basic. I would really advise looping in Power, water and gas, those are the big ones.
