Arboricultural Surveys
Arboricultural Surveys
We work closely with a fully qualified Arboricultural specialist who carries out tree surveys to BS5837 (Trees in relation to the Construction Industry) who will issue a tabulated report as an Excel spread sheet or Word document.
Information such as tree species, diameter, height and crown dimension (measured at 4 cardinal points) and condition of the tree is recorded straight into a PDA on site.
Trees can be tagged and the tree numbers are added to our drawings, together with root protection areas and tree crowns in the appropriate British Standard colours to provide a complete survey report, if remedial work is required, this is carried out to BS3998 (Recommendations for tree work).
Our specialist also carries out Arboricultural Impact Studies and if required will write an Arboricultural Method Statement for the Planning Department of the Local Authority.
Our clients benefit from this relationship by combining both services, which is cost effective and saves time employing outside consultants.
