Working Around Transmission Lines
Liberty (Tinker Transmission) LP transmission corridors, or Rights-of-Way (ROWs), are essential for delivering safe, reliable power to both provincial and international customers. These ROWs allow our crews access to the transmission towers and lines for routine maintenance and emergency situations.
Power lines are designed to be safe, but electric utility lines and equipment still pose risks.
There are mandatory safety processes for working across, along or under Liberty (Tinker Transmission) LP power lines. You must contact Liberty (Tinker Transmission) LP early in your planning process to request authorization before starting work in and around transmission towers and lines.
Whether you’re building roads, planting trees, cultivating land, or maintaining sewage lines, if you’re working around a transmission power line, you need to Contact Click before you dig or call 811. Our team will work with you on a plan to conduct your work without putting yourself or others at risk.
It’s your responsibility to make sure work can be done safely around all international and provincial power lines.

- Operating a vehicle or mobile equipment on or across a transmission power line, outside of the travelled portion of a highway or public road
