Comprehensive Vegetation Management is the use of herbicides to manage undesirable plant and tree species. Some species are fast growing and can interfere with the utility itself or can prevent access to rights-of-ways used for routine maintenance or emergencies. The management of these species also assists our customers in following FERC standards. While mechanical methods can be utilized to cut back vegetation, these methods can often be costly, temporary, and unpredictable. TSI works to provide the best long term solutions through Best Applications Methods (BAM).
