Vegetation management involves the calculated approach to responsibly maintaining areas that may require bare ground conditions, control of overgrowth, mowing and/or trimming and reclamation of sites. These efforts are critical to maintaining access to infrastructure, personnel safety and prevention of fires. CMI Services provides vegetation management solutions for industrial and municipal infrastructure. Holding Ontario Ministry of Environment Pesticide Operator Licensing along with IPM (Integrated Pest Management) certification, our highly qualified team provides strategic control of vegetation to meet the specific needs of each unique application site.
Encroaching vegetation on critical infrastructure and rights-of-way can have serious consequences to the health and safety of facilities including utilities, pipelines, industrial operations, railway infrastructure and municipalities.
Our Vegetation Management Services Include:
Bare Ground Area Maintenance – Areas surrounding critical infrastructure are often required to be maintained in a state free of all vegetation. CMI Services offers various solutions including contact and season-long residual herbicide programs to ensure sites remain clear during growing months. In addition, we can provide “turn-key” patrolling, monitoring and “touch-up” of treated sites to ensure program effectiveness for the duration of the growing season.
Selective Treatment – When specific invasive species are a concern, CMI Services can offer solutions for targeted control to ensure desired plant life is protected while unwanted weeds are controlled and/or eliminated.
Brush Control and Clearing – Trees, tall grass, brush and the like can all present issues to site health and safety. These issues can range from fire hazards due to contact with a utility pole, to visibility restrictions due to overgrowth near rights-of-way or roadside ditches. CMI Services offers many solutions to safely and efficiently manage your brush and overgrowth concerns including mowing, forestry mulchers and even remote-controlled flailbots for maximum safety and effectiveness in difficult to access locations.
Severe Angle Mowing – Hillsides, steep grades and difficult to access areas near critical infrastructure, rights-of-way, roadsides, ditches, etc. can present many unique challenges in safely controlling overgrowth. CMI Services utilizes fully remote-control severe angle flailbots designed to operate on incline/off-camber surfaces up to 55°. Our experienced operators and advanced technology allow us to eliminate safety risks associated with mowing or clearing hillsides, while achieving the desired outcomes efficiently and cost effectively.
Effective bare ground vegetation management relies heavily on the right equipment and technology. CMI Services fleet of vegetation management equipment includes customized high-performance spray equipment—specifically designed to deliver precise and effective application of herbicides.
UTV Sprayers – Sprayers mounted within our UTV’s are well suited for navigating rough terrain or areas with limited access. They’re also perfectly matched for spot treatments, smaller plots of land and even railway infrastructure.
Truck-Mounted Sprayer – We have custom spray equipment mounted in dedicated four-wheel drive pick-up trucks for larger-scale operations. These sprayers feature powerful pumps, large-capacity tanks, and extended spray distances.
Boom Truck Sprayer –Large sites requiring vast areas of treatment require big equipment. Our boom truck sprayer allows for quick and efficient application of herbicide over large areas with up to 80-foot coverage in one (1) pass. The high-capacity tank allows our operators to be more productive for longer periods of time and integrated GPS technology ensures accurate application.
We’re more than an asset management company, we’re a safety company, by providing integrated services that combine advanced technology solutions with a focused and driven work ethic redefining what an MI and maintenance service provider can offer.
