Land Drains

Blocked land drains and culverts have been the cause of serious flooding in both rural and urban areas in recent years.

When vegetation is allowed to grow into these channels it can severely reduce the flow of water and acts as a barrier to all other debris as it is washed downriver thereby causing blockages, resulting in flooding. There is a great responsibility on Public Authorities and landowners to maintain their drains and serious consequences for those who do not.

Solutions from Invas Biosecurity

INVAS Biosecurity can work with those who are responsible for drainage or the individual drains and put in place a program that will manage and ensure that the drains are clear of debris and weeds throughout the year. We can also provide an annual treatment program to keep the channels weed-free and free flowing! This is sensitive work and the client needs to have confidence that the contractor is knowledgeable and trustworthy so that there will be no danger of risk of pollution by the use of non-registered herbicides. INVAS Biosecurity is such a company !
