Crane Takedown
Start of the day
Day One
We were contracted by Wiltshire council to remove two giant Sequoia trees that were in decline.
The area was closed off so work could commence.
The trees were climbed and the branches lowered to the ground one by one.
By the end of the day both trees were stripped to poles.
Approximately 7 tonnes of woodchip was taken away.
Day Two
Due to the location of the trees they could not be felled so a crane was brought in to assist dismantling the stems.
Two tractors and trailers were used to haul the timber
A total of 42 tonnes of timber was taken away. The large sections of timber were used in a chainsaw sculpting competition.
All down – six staff, one crane, two tractors, 7 tonnes of wood chip and 42 tonnes of timber removed – all in two days!
