Client has to be responsible in both instances, you can only offer a sound solution to mitigate the risk, and give a very worst case scenario price per m2 to replace the Tarmac if it came to it.

 

Merlo running on 75mm thick timber bog mats where access is required and put it on 200mm thick crane mats where it sits.

 

Plenty of pictures before and after.

 

Timber mats aren’t huge money to hire, haulage being the main cost, the Merlo will unload/lay them for you and you can use the same track to get trailers etc in for heavy stuff.

 

It’s one for a pot of tea for all involved, it needs a common sense solution, but for yourself only take on the risks you’re paid for.

Heave can't be your blame, maybe worth taking to how is involved at surgery and explain tree is in a bad state and if it fails it will course more damage than probably the crane, temp roadway would be first option and smallest crane you can get away with. 

And we all have insurance maybe worth having a word with them about your cover.

Are the surgery aware of the implications of leaving the tree in it’s current state?

It would be on their insurance if the tree flattened the surgery, not the tree owners.

 

I’m not so sure that would be the case in this instance. The tree owners have already been made aware of the state of the tree, that’s why it as to come down. Surely the tree owners are responsible for any damage that happens should it fail/ fall🤔. But I stand( or sit)to be corrected of course🤓.
