 Treework Environmental Practice provides services for detailed assessment of valued trees using the most advanced technologies available to current arboriculture. For example we offer the following services:
Wind Load Simulation
The Wind Load Simulation Test provides the means to make a detailed assessment of the stability of a tree by measuring its breaking and tipping resistance. This methodology is also known as the so-called 'tree pulling test' and is based on the Tree Static research of Dr. Lother Wessolly.
Wind Load Analysis based on Static Integrated Assessment (SIA)
This is a theoretical basis for estimating the loads experienced about the tree stem near ground level and the tree's root plate, taking into account factors such as species, height, crown shape & density, and site factors (elevation and growth context).
Tree Statics applied to calculating sound wall thickness
This facilitates the means to calculate the minimal residual wall sufficient for the tree to withstand a Beaufort Force 12 gale.
Internal Decay Mapping
Various technologies are now available for carrying out a visualisation of internal trunk condition by providing a map (tomogram) of the wood quality of the trunk. This internal decay mapping is used to assess the extent and condition of the residual wall of trees where there is suspected decay. The main technology applied by TEP is the Picust ™ Internal Decay Tomogram which offers a clear image of the internal condition of the stem, showing areas of decay and weakened tissue.
Picus Internal Decay Tomogram provides a clear image of the internal condition of the stem, showing areas of decay and weakened tissue.
