How do you manage weed control and biosecurity concerns during pipeline construction?
We understand the importance of your land and the impact invasive weeds and crop disease can have on your livelihood. We’re committed to effectively managing the risks associated with the potential spread of pathogens and weeds during pipeline construction with our thoroughly researched, industry-leading biosecurity plan.
We perform records reviews and weed surveys—and in some instances, soil sampling—prior to construction to identify species and the extent of infestation. All of our equipment will arrive on site clean and free of weeds, soil and debris. We may set up cleaning stations to wash and disinfect our construction equipment, depending on the level of risk.
We continue to monitor the pipeline right-of-way for any new weed infestations following construction.
