Leading a greener future
From powerlines to highways, our vetted and qualified personnel can cut trees and remove other woody vegetation, helping structures including overhead cables, utility stations, public transport and other infrastructure to run smoothly.
Vegetation management is a core service available from Glendale. Our experts can ensure your operations are in no way obstructed by trees or other woody vegetation. Our utility arborists hold specialist qualifications to cut trees alongside powerlines and also meet the requirements of District Network Operators (DNOs) as well as industry bodies such as the Arboricultural Association.
Glendale’s team of highly qualified experts includes arboricultural tree surveyors, logisticians, utility linesmen and senior approved personnel. Together, these knowledgeable individuals are an authority on all aspects of vegetation management. With nearly 30 years’ experience, Glendale is perfectly poised to meet your requirements, particularly if your organisation is responsible for large-scale, linear infrastructure or large geographical areas where logistics may prove problematic.
Vegetation can soon become unruly without proper care, observation and maintenance. Warm weather paired with well-timed rain can cause a spate of quick, extensive growth that can seemingly appear from nowhere. This can prove obstructive to the continued operation of large, linear infrastructure including highways and powerlines.
By enlisting Glendale’s vegetation management service, you will gain a bespoke management programme designed to effectively control plant growth throughout the year, year on year. We utilise various methods to control plant growth, ranging from tree surgery and removal to the responsible use of herbicides. As well as proactive planning, we also conduct reactive work including making trees safe during inclement weather.
We are vastly experienced in the planning and implementation of professional vegetation management schemes for a diverse range of major organisations. Our specialist services include hazardous tree surveying, the full work consenting process and high specification tree surgery as well as power shutdowns and other associated technical operations. These services are available either as individual elements or as a full package, allowing you to budget for necessary vegetation management work with greater accuracy.
Our other vegetation management specialisms include pest control, disease management and maintaining line clearances to meet strict industry-specific legislative requirements. Glendale is also experienced in managing 3-yearly maintenance cycles for DNOs, liaising with landowners and gaining official permission to access private land before administering tree surgery or any other work.
Glendale’s expert teams are trained, qualified and equipped for highway vegetation management projects on footpaths, bridleways, high-speed roads and motorways. We can promote safety and convenience on all thoroughfares by removing any obstructive vegetation and effectively managing the surrounding locale.
Our staff hold all of the necessary qualifications to conduct work alongside high-speed carriageways including NRSWA Chapter 8 (Supervisor/Operative level) signing, lighting and guarding. In order to achieve a safe work site and an informed travelling public, the full requirements of Safety at Street Works and Road Works, a Code of Practice issued under the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991, Traffic Signs Manual Chapter 8 and Chapter 8 supervising, signing, lighting and guarding are followed.
From substations to overhead power lines, all energy and utilities infrastructure requires specialist vegetation management. Our experts work to ensure tree and vegetation growth poses no threat to the safe maintenance of hardware, particularly concerning the health and safety of personnel. We frequently conduct work in areas with sensitive equipment and observe best practices to maintain a safe working environment. By keeping the power on, we can mitigate the impact of our vegetation management work on the wider utility network. Where it is impossible to keep the power online, we endeavour to carry out controlled shutdowns and complete any necessary work quickly, ensuring the power is back up as soon as possible.
Glendale offers comprehensive plant control services for the energy sector. We can also perform work in emergency situations, conduct safety audits and draw up planned maintenance plans to ensure ongoing legislative compliance.
By choosing Glendale, you ensure your green spaces will be managed efficiently and in a professional manner. Our teams strive to provide practical plans and execute specific jobs to the high level our customers have come to expect. We have amassed a wealth of experience in vegetation management and are also passionate about delivering excellent customer service.
