Who Should Attend:
Staking technicians.
Course Overview:
This one-and-a-half-day course is part of the Comprehensive Staking Technician Certification Program. Experienced line designers say obtaining the right-of-way easement is the toughest part of staking, yet it is an important part. A well-designed power line is of little use if it cannot be built on the land.
In this course, you will focus on easement laws, land ownership rights, titles, easement descriptions, and easement records. You will also develop negotiating and people skills that will enable you to obtain an easement and establish a high level of trust with the customer.
