Line Clearance with Mulchers
Clearing lines using mulchers is much more environmentally sustainable than using conventional methods, such as bulldozers. Command Equipment is an ambassador for the environment and a leader in innovating environmentally sound methods and embracing specialized equipment. We help you meet your environmental goals.

By using mulchers, we are able to deliver the following benefits to you:

§ Narrower lines
Less tree removal means less impact on the environment, a reduced footprint on the land and faster re-growth.

§ Smooth and clear lines
With no debris left over from bulldozing and no windrow to act as a hazard to personnel and wildlife, you can utilize all the available space on the line and move equipment with ease. Wood chips from mulched trees are evenly distributed on the ground to support wheeled access and prevent rutting.

§ No burning required
With mulching, there is no windrow to act as a potential fire ladder and burning is unnecessary. Windrows often have to be burned to remove them, which means extra labour is required, smoke pollutes the area and affects local communities, and burning poses a fire hazard.

§ Tree root and soil infrastructure remain intact
By allowing the tree root structure to remain and soil left undisturbed, faster re-growth is possible, erosion is controlled and no seeding is required. Mulched wood chips decompose faster, leaving enriched soil for new trees to grow.

§ Small drill access
Smaller LIS drills have access to areas through mulched lines because the root system is left intact and wood chips form a smooth path on which these smaller drills can move more easily.

LIS Drilling
We use small drills (1.75 meters wide) that require a very narrow line clearance:

§ Narrower lines
Fewer trees are removed to accommodate the drill.

§ Equipment access
Mulched wood chips create a path on which equipment can be easily mobilized In combination with our line clearance service, you provide the least impact on the land on which seismic drilling occurs.
