In Alberta, it's driven by an emerging regulatory requirement in sub-regional plans, which aim to restore active dispositions to pre-disturbance ecosites and wetland classes that can produce caribou biophysical habitat. Reclaiming decommissioned and abandoned pipelines isn't new, and neither is restoring roads or seismic lines. Revegetating an active ROW is the hard part. You have to move the land toward caribou-habitat outcomes while the pipeline remains in operation. That's the problem we solve. ## How we restore habitat along an active right-of-way   We plan and deliver PHR on active ROWs at multi-million-hectare, multi-year scale, using GeoAI and LiDAR to make large programs predictable and defensible.    One consolidated dataset spans vegetation, disturbance, and progress, so you can show regulators measurable, defensible restoration instead of a stack of disconnected reports. ![Pipeline right-of-way regenerating through dense young conifer forest](https://www.silvacom.com/hubfs/Hero%20Website%20Silvacom%20-%201200%20x%20900%20PHR%20image%202.jpg) ## Our work covers: #### Regulatory compliance We align every plan to the sub-regional plan that governs your ROW, so your restoration counts toward provincial caribou range recovery targets. #### Site-level vegetation assessment LiDAR and geospatial analytics provide precise, up-to-date ground conditions, so revegetation is planned on real data, not assumptions. #### Tactical landscape planning We segment the corridor and sequence revegetation, so a multi-year program has a clear order of operations and a forecastable cost. #### Indigenous and stakeholder engagement We plan with the communities whose land and rights are affected, building on long-standing relationships rather than one-off consultations. ### Let's Talk About Your Pipeline Habitat Restoration Project We're interested in learning more about your challenges and exploring ways in which we can help.

A new, emerging regulatory requirement under sub-regional plans aims to reduce the footprint of active pipeline Right-Of-Ways (ROW) through restoration. The intent is to restore these active dispositions to pre-disturbance ecosites and wetland classes capable of producing caribou biophysical habitat. Reclamation of decommissioned and abandoned pipelines is not new to Alberta nor is the restoration of other linear footprint such as roads and seismic lines. However, revegetating an active Right-Of-Way poses unique challenges to achieving the desired caribou habitat outcomes while efficiently operating a pipeline.

Pipeline habitat restoration reduces the footprint of active pipeline right-of-ways to support caribou recovery, a response to emerging sub-regional plan requirements in Alberta. Unlike decommissioned pipeline reclamation, this work revegetates corridors while the pipeline stays operational, requiring specialized planning to balance habitat outcomes with ongoing operational needs. ### How does Silvacom approach restoration on an active right-of-way? Silvacom combines LiDAR-based vegetation assessments, tactical corridor revegetation sequencing, GeoAI-driven planning tools, regulatory compliance navigation, and Indigenous and stakeholder engagement to deliver restoration that meets sub-regional plan requirements without disrupting active operations. ### Let's Talk About Your Project   [Contact Us](https://www.silvacom.com/contact-us) **Silvacom (head office)** 201 - 4723 52 Ave NW Edmonton Alberta, T6B 3R6 Canada [silvacom@silvacom.com](mailto:silvacom@silvacom.com) [+1 780 462 3238](tel:+17804623238) ##### Quick Links - [Forestry](https://www.silvacom.com/forestry) - [Environmental](https://www.silvacom.com/environment) - [Remote Sensing](https://www.silvacom.com/remote-sensing) - [Wildfire Mitigation](https://www.silvacom.com/wildfire-mitigation-services) - [Pipeline Habitat Restoration](https://www.silvacom.com/pipeline-habitat-restoration) - [About Us](https://www.silvacom.com/about-us) - [Social Responsibility](https://www.silvacom.com/csr) - [Careers](https://www.silvacom.com/careers) - [Contact Us](https://www.silvacom.com/contact-us) - [News](https://www.silvacom.com/news) - [Login to Silvacom Online](https://online.silvacom.com/isogis/) ##### Stay Connected Stay up to date with the latest Silvacom news, blogs and job postings by following us on social media. - - - - [![Alberta's Top Employers and Canada's Top Small and Medium Employers 2026](https://www.silvacom.com/hubfs/Top%20employer%20%26%20SME%202026%20-%20NEW.png)](https://reviews.canadastop100.com/top-employer-silvacom) [![Canadian Council for Indigenous Business member](https://www.silvacom.com/hubfs/CCIB-Member-logoH-colour.png)](https://www.ccab.com/main/ccab_member/silvacom/) [![Esri Partner Network Gold partner](https://www.silvacom.com/hubfs/esri-partner-net-gold-light.png)](https://www.esri.com/partners/silvacom-ltd-a2T70000000TNe7EAG) Silvacom Ltd. © .
