The job cannot be worked until all the right-of-way has been cleared. If easements for adjacent property owners are required, DO NOT perform any work on their property UNTIL you have all necessary easements signed. All timber and brush will need to be removed from the right-of-way area and all stumps need to be cut off as close as possible to ground level. There must not be any overhanging limbs in the easement area. All right-of-way widths must be clear from ground to sky. For secondary lines (low voltage) the required clearing is 20 feet (10 feet on each side of the line location). For primary lines (high voltage) the required clearing is 40 feet (20 feet on each side of the line location). The engineer will advise of pole locations and necessary right-of-way widths for each line section. TSEMC will maintain the right-of-way after the line is built. Additional Information for Overhead Installations:įor any portions of the new line to be built that will be overhead construction you are responsible for clearing the right-of-way. If you spot your own meter base and the location is unsuitable, the meter base will need to be moved before the installation can be completed. The engineer will spot the meter base for each installation. The engineer will need a callback number (for re-scheduling) and specific directions to the site.

The engineer will make an appointment to meet you on-site to evaluate what needs to be done.

The engineers can be reached at 70 between 7:15 AM and 4:00 PM. The first step in getting power to a new installation is to call TSEMC’s engineering office for an appointment.
