Industrial Weed Control for Safe, Compliant Infrastructure Networks

As vegetation management continues to evolve, Esplanade is supporting a more proactive, efficient and sustainable approach, helping protect critical infrastructure and the communities that rely on it.

Uncontrolled vegetation around critical infrastructure continues to challenge safety, access and maintenance across Australia. From powerlines and substations to roadsides, rail corridors and site perimeters, unmanaged weed growth can quickly escalate into fire risk, restricted access and rising operational costs if not proactively controlled.

Esplanade® Herbicide offers a reliable solution for industrial vegetation management, delivering pre-emergent control of more than 30 tough weed species, including herbicide-resistant fleabane and annual ryegrass. By stopping weeds before they emerge, Esplanade helps reduce repeat interventions and maintain cleaner sites for longer.

“Length of control is a critical factor for vegetation management programs,” said Matt Leach, Envu IVM Regional Product Manager. “With Esplanade, we’re seeing up to eight months control, which can dramatically reduce the number of applications required each year while maintaining clean, compliant sites.”

With a novel Group 29 mode of action, Esplanade provides a new tool for resistance management in Australia, particularly where traditional chemistries are no longer delivering reliable results. Applied at just 150 mL per hectare, Esplanade delivers a strong environmental and operational profile.

“Esplanade delivers extended residual control across a wide range of weeds while its strong soil absorption reduces the risk of off-target impact, making it a reliable foundation for modern utility vegetation management programs,” said Craig Burleigh, Envu National Sales Manager (VM).

As vegetation management continues to evolve, Esplanade is supporting a more proactive, efficient and sustainable approach, helping protect critical infrastructure and the communities that rely on it. Successfully adopted across utilities, industrial sites, roadsides and rail corridors nationwide, Esplanade is helping operators maintain safer, more manageable environments.
