Selling Pipeline and Power Line Timber

Throughout a large portion of Ohio’s Utica and Marcellus shale, an incredible energy boom is taking place. Selling pipeline and power line timber has become increasingly important. As a result , the impressive volume of oil and natural gas coming out of these new wells quickly transforms America into the number one global energy producer. Consequently , this puts America ahead of even Saudi Arabia.

Furthermore , advances in drilling technology, along with increases in the price of other fossil fuel sources, have made once unobtainable gas economically extractable. As a result, investment dollars, major energy companies, and countless contractors have flooded into the area. In order to prepare the necessary infrastructure to accommodate the region’s rich gas deposits, the selling of pipeline and power line timber is crucial in supporting this development.

An important part of preparing this infrastructure involves clearing timber. This is to make room for Selling Infrastructure Corridor Timber, roads, and other easements. Meanwhile , due to the dense forest areas in northeast Ohio and western Pennsylvania, workers are piling up a tremendous amount of valuable timber. Often, they leave it behind and forget about it.

Many landowners assume the timber is worthless or only valuable as firewood. However , the truth is that pipeline crews are clearing many trees that are actually commercially valuable hardwood! In fact , the economic importance of selling both pipeline and power line timber cannot be underestimated. Furthermore , this highlights the need for sustainable practices to balance economic growth with environmental preservation. Timber Works specializes in purchasing the timber that these Selling Infrastructure Corridor Timber crews leave behind.

Selling Cleared Timber

The land clearing process these crews use is fairly straightforward. First, they use large cutting equipment known as feller-bunchers to indiscriminately cut trees up to a certain width along the energy company’s easement. Crews often encounter trees that are too large for the feller buncher. They either hand cut the largest trees in the forest with chainsaws or push them over with large bulldozers or track hoes.

We encourage landowners to demand that their timber be either handcut or cut with a feller buncher. Selling power line and pipeline wood should be a priority. When heavy equipment pushes timber over, it often splits and splinters. Even worse, timber tends to break near the base of the tree. This damages the most valuable portion of the entire tree stem.
