Energy & Utility Site Work

MULTI-YEAR MSAs.
WEEKLY-VERIFIED ROW.

Your storm response can't depend on a vendor that ghosts. Your ESC compliance can't depend on paper logs in someone's truck. ClearGround delivers ROW clearing, solar site prep, and erosion control across Texas — with every inspection RTK-verified and every linear foot documented. The MSA you can renew without renegotiating.

    The Problem Your O&M Team Already Knows
    01

    Your vegetation MSA bidder pool collapsed.

    Two of your three approved subs raised rates 30% last cycle. The third went out of business. You're paying premium for crews that don't deliver documented inspections, and your storm response window is shrinking every quarter.

    02

    ESC inspection failures triggered a TCEQ notice.

    Weekly inspections "happened" but the documentation is a smudged paper form from three weeks ago. Permanent vegetation coverage was never verified at 70%. Now you're explaining a Notice of Violation to a regional director who doesn't want explanations.

    03

    Solar pad delivery slipped the COD window.

    Weather window closed before the EPC could mobilize panels. Site prep sub didn't have RTK grade verification, so the EPC has to re-survey before they pour. Every week of delay costs the project's PPA economics — and somebody owes someone money.

    The MSA Workflow Utilities Need

    DOCUMENTED RESPONSE. EVERY MILE.

    From greenfield solar site prep to recurring ROW vegetation MSAs and storm-response standby — five phases, one crew, RTK-verified every cycle. Your compliance team gets the paper trail. Your O&M team gets the response window.

    01
    RTK Site Survey

    Aerial mapping of ROW, solar footprint, or substation pad. Densities, terrain, drainage all documented before crews mobilize.

    02
    Mass Clearing or Mulching

    FAE forestry mulcher for ROW + solar. CAT 308E2 CR for tight substation access. No haul-off, on-site mulch.

    03
    Trenching & ESC

    Collector trenching with LiDAR pre-backfill scan. Silt fence, wattles, and hydroseeding installed per SWPPP.

    04
    Weekly RTK Inspection

    Georeferenced drone inspection. ESC BMPs verified. 70% permanent vegetation coverage tracked to compliance.

    05
    MSA Recurring

    Vegetation MSA monthly cadence + storm-response standby. Renewable at the same rate because the documentation makes the case.

    What's In Scope

    ONE MSA. EVERY UTILITY SCOPE.

    From solar site prep to recurring ROW maintenance to storm-response standby — all under one MSA structure. RTK documentation included on every cycle.

    01

    Solar Site Prep

    Mass grading and clearing for utility-scale solar. Cut/fill to spec with RTK + machine control. Collector trench routing pre-mapped.

    02

    ROW Vegetation MSA

    Recurring transmission, distribution, and pipeline ROW mulching. FAE attachment, no burn permits, no haul-off. Monthly or quarterly cycle.

    03

    ESC + Hydroseeding

    SWPPP-authored ESC install, weekly RTK-verified inspection, hydroseeding to LCRA 70% permanent vegetation coverage standard.

    04

    Storm Response Standby

    48-hour mobilization on a contracted SLA. ROW clearance to restore service. Georeferenced documentation delivered same-week.

    ESC compliance is a documentation game. We scan weekly, deliver georeferenced inspection reports, and prove 70% permanent vegetation coverage with imagery your TCEQ inspector can verify. ROW maintenance becomes a managed asset, not a fire drill.
