We can suggest ways to reduce risk of contamination so once harvest is over, we can come in and clear away 100% of the slash and woody fibre that is left over.

1. Land clearing

2. Onsite grinding and chipping

3. Off-site removal

4. Environmental and safety controls and completion reports

5. Steep and flat terrain retrieval services

6. Waterway clearing and post op surface flow management.

7. Soil stabilisation and re-establishing soil organic matter on bare earth surfaces

When involved from the harvest planning stage, our forestry operations team can work with forest managers and owners on things like skid design, temporary retention benches, live “grab & go options, and post op measures so we can effectively come and retrieve those residues while the harvesting crews are still working, or help manage the safe storage until full removal at Post Op. 

We can help with:

• Efficient cost effective residue extraction

• Environmental and safety controls and Completion Reports

• Risk and hazard identification with effective controls for managing slash and residues

• Worker management, Job Safety Analysis (JSA), and Safe Behaviour Observation (SBO)

If set up correctly, Azwood is able to efficiently clear skid sites during harvest, resulting in a reduction or complete removal of offcuts and slash disposal on temporary benching. This streamlined process facilitates a more effective clean-up, ultimately saving both time and monetary resources.

Furthermore, the clearing of these sites during harvest allows Azwood to reclaim a greater amount of slash residue before it becomes contaminated, as fresh slash is easier to manage, maintain, and repurpose. This allows us to efficiently remove a higher volume of the material and give back more of the land for replanting
