Right of Way Easement Acquisition

We invest our specialized knowledge and experience in building enduring relationships with clients for the good of our communities.

Project viability often hinges on site research and selection, as well as timely acquisition of easements and rights-of-way (ROW).  In this stage of a project, TOTH is a project partner who can understand the dynamics of public awareness and landowner relationships,  the technical requirements for design and construction, and the legal and regulatory constraints, plus the importance of professionalism, communication, and responsible project management.

Members of TOTH’s Right-of-Way (ROW) Acquisition Team have worked on projects in Missouri, Arkansas, Illinois, Oklahoma, Oregon, and Washington, helping public and private utilities, local governmental entities, and real estate developers plan and acquire property, right-of-way, and easements for their respective projects.  Our project managers have a wide range of experience including:

  • Site selection and route selection
  • Environmental clearances
  • Easement consultation
  • Acquisition services for many miles of electric transmission line
  • Water & wastewater utilities
  • Renewable energy projects
  • Subdivisions
  • Permitting for road, rail, and utility crossings

TOTH’s team includes specialists who perform advanced research to evaluate route and site feasibility, environmental constraints, professional engineers & land surveyors who oversee the technical aspects of the projects, and full-time field staff to interface directly with affected landowners and concerned neighbors.
