Let Us Partner with Your Engineering Team (To Find the Best Path Forward)
Connecting energy sources—electricity, natural gas, solar, wind, etc.—to data centers and other projects requires close collaboration between engineers and land professionals. Engineers leverage their expertise to design the ideal flow of energy, which could involve multiple parcels, landowners, and easements. That’s where land professionals come in.
At New Era Land Services, we work closely with our clients’ in-house engineering teams to enable successful energy outcomes. Here’s why your organization should trust us to obtain right of way.
The Best Path Forward Is Rarely a Straight Line
On paper, the task seems relatively straightforward: Identify the most efficient route from an energy source to the final destination. Unfortunately, a straight line is rarely possible due to a variety of factors, such as natural impediments, roads and highways, and unwilling landowners. As a result, contingency plans—and alternate routes—become necessary.
Pursuing alternate routes can seem like a never-ending game of musical chairs. Each new route brings with it a mix of on-the-ground administrative tasks, such as interacting with landowners, negotiating contract terms, and obtaining easement agreements. This type of work may not be the best use of engineers’ time or talent, but someone has to do it!
