Mulching

Hydro-Electric plant, NSW, Australia…

One of the many maintenance jobs is to keep the area above the buried water pipes free of vegetation.  This used to be a time consuming job which required up to six staff members equipped with chain saws and brush cutters to cut down the heavy scrub and then take it away for disposal.

Now they use one person to operate an excavator with a RockHound 30ex Flail Mulcher attached, which mulches the scrub very quickly and easily while leaving nothing to take away.  The mulched plant matter simply falls to the ground and breaks down into the soil.
