Debris & Vegetation Removal

Debris build up on structures and bridges must be dealt with to protect the structure itself. Additional loading, restrictions in water flow and disturbances increase scouring risks and are a potential hazard if debris is not removed.
Safety Standby Services offer an effective solution to the challenge of debris removal. Our team of flexible rope, water and boat technicians are highly skilled in winching, brush tools and debris removal and have the ability to work suspended, in the water or from a boat.

A unique and dangerous activity we ensure safety and protection of the structure during the removal process and recover all materials to the bank and away from the site, so preventing further degradation down stream.

We can clear flood and high flow debris from bridge pillars and other water structures. We also de-veg approach paths, banks and indeed remove vegetation growing on difficult to reach areas of the structure itself in preparation for maintenance inspection by engineers.

We can remove floating or jammed debris from weirs, fish steps and culverts.

We recover lost or abandoned vehicles from water courses on behalf of owners, recovery agents and insurers.

We have an extensive range of off road vehicles and plant facilitating operations in more difficult to access areas.
