Logging truck and chipper working a highway corridor in a mountain valley

Assess • Remove • Recover • Restore

Purpose-built corridor recovery.

Keeping Western Canada's transportation and utility corridors open. Transportation • hydro • rail • municipal infrastructure • emergency response.

When the fire is out, the work is just beginning.

Burned corridors continue to experience:

  • Delayed hazard tree failures
  • Power interruptions
  • Highway closures
  • Falling debris
  • Public safety risks
  • Restricted emergency access

Rossco's Forest Health provides one integrated team to restore safe public access quickly and efficiently.

One contractor. Complete corridor recovery.

Assessment

Danger tree falling

Remote grapple saw

Mechanized removal

Fibre recovery

Whole tree chipping

Traffic control

Corridor restoration

One mobilization

One traffic control plan

One project manager

One accountable contractor

Built for transportation

Purpose built

Wheeled and tracked carriers configured for roadside and right-of-way work.

Low ground pressure

Protects shoulders, ditches and sensitive ground within the corridor.

Reduced lane closure time

Debris moves as fast as it comes down, so the corridor reopens behind the crew.

Remote operation

Remote grapple saw keeps workers out from under compromised stems.

Reduced worker exposure

Mechanized removal replaces hand falling in the highest-hazard positions.

Traffic control integration

One traffic control plan tied directly to the work plan.

Emergency response ready

On-site fire suppression with our FYREBX T5 500-gallon unit.

Debris moves as fast as it comes down — grapple skidders keep the running surface clear so the corridor reopens behind the crew, not after it. People hire experience.
