Utility corridor
& easement
vegetation management.
Western Australia.
ARC11 provides remote-controlled vegetation management for utility corridors, water infrastructure, power line easements, and pipeline reserves across Western Australia — where operator exposure, asset proximity, and terrain risk limit conventional manned plant.
Where asset
proximity changes
the risk picture.
Utility corridors, water infrastructure easements, and power line reserves present a specific vegetation management challenge — conventional plant introduces contact risk with assets, rollover risk on steep batters, and operator exposure that's difficult to control near live infrastructure.
ARC11's remote-controlled operation allows the operator to be positioned away from the machine and managed operating zone, and the compact footprint reduces the risk of contact with underground services, above-ground assets, and adjacent infrastructure.
"The controlled cutting head reduces uncontrolled discharge risk — critical when working adjacent to live electrical assets, water infrastructure, and pipeline reserves."
- Power line easements — high voltage line corridors, tracked access routes
- Water infrastructure — pipeline reserves, pump station access, drainage
- Solar farm slopes — vegetation beneath and between panel arrays, low-clearance access
- Pipeline and gas corridors — controlled cutting near underground assets
- Rail corridor batters — steep embankments adjacent to operational rail
- Substation and switching yard perimeters — asset-adjacent work with controlled discharge
Corridor work
conventional plant
struggles with.
Vegetation management around power, water and other infrastructure where terrain, access or operator exposure restricts conventional plant. WA-wide, and available to Perth-based asset owners and contractors for regional and difficult-access corridors.
Part of ARC11's difficult-access vegetation management for councils and utilities.
Easements & access tracks
Restoring and maintaining access along power, water and pipeline easements, including tracks overgrown with scrub and regrowth that conventional plant can't safely reach.
Steep corridor batters
Remote-controlled operation on batters and embankments up to 60°, with the operator positioned on stable ground rather than on the slope.
Drainage infrastructure
Drains, culverts and stormwater lines within corridors, where soft ground and concrete or rock-pitched structures rule out heavier plant.
Vegetation around assets
Compact, controlled work near poles, towers, pipework, fences and above-ground fittings, reducing the risk of contact damage.
Selective vegetation reduction
Targeted mulching to reduce fuel loads and regrowth to the scope required, with material left on site to help protect against erosion.
Documentation for asset owners
Site-specific SWMS, JHA, method statements and insurance certificates supplied for contractor panels and asset owner approval.
Common
questions from
asset owners.
How close can you work to live assets?
Working distances are set by the asset owner's clearance and exclusion zone requirements and confirmed in a site-specific risk assessment. Remote operation positions the operator away from the machine, and the compact machine with a controlled cutting head reduces the risk of contact with above-ground and underground assets.
What documentation do you supply?
Site-specific SWMS, job hazard analysis and risk assessment, method statements, a $20M public liability insurance certificate, and project records suitable for compliance review and contractor panel assessment.
What access does the machine need?
The machine is compact and tracked. It needs a suitable unloading point and a route onto the corridor, such as an access track or gate. We confirm access during scoping from maps, photos or a site inspection.
Can you work on wet or post-burn corridor ground?
Often, yes. The machine's 2.4 psi ground pressure suits wet, erosion-prone and post-burn ground where heavier plant can bog or cause damage. Each site is assessed for traction, stability and ground conditions before work is confirmed.
