Clearing the Path: Track Mulchers, Trimmers and Mowers Tackle Right of Way Work
Clearing machines, such as track mulchers, grinders, chippers, tree trimmers and mowers, level the path in preparation for the arrival of the big equipment used for installing oil and gas pipelines. Along miles of approved right of way, specialized machinery devours the vegetation found along a pipeline route. Tree trunks become sawdust. Underbrush turns to mulch. Tall grass is cut down to size.
