Client: NSW Department of Education School Infrastructure
Location: Carlingford, NSW
Service Provided: Emergency Make Safe
Project Overview
A large eucalyptus tree had a broken branch hanging in its upper canopy, directly above a school building. Controlled removal was required to address the hazard while preventing damage to the roof.
CHALLENGES
The broken branch was suspended high in the canopy, presenting a risk of sudden failure.
Its position directly above the roof increased the risk of damage during removal.
Limited rear access restricted equipment positioning and required manual handling.
Cut sections and debris needed to be carefully controlled to protect people and property below.
SOLUTIONS
AQF Level 3 qualified arborists carried out all climbing and cutting work.
The damaged branch was rigged and removed in controlled sections to prevent contact with the roof.
The remainder of the limb was pruned, leaving a clean, appropriate pruning cut.
All debris was removed, leaving the work area clear and tidy.
