large timber removal, Berkshire

[jose]

Evening.

I am quoting for the removal of a large Sequoia and need to remove timber from site. Its a bit of a monster and as can imagine some big lumps of timber to dispose of. Ive added a picture but it doesnt do it justice. Very roughly at the ground my lad (who is 6'1) arms out wide 5 times so id say circumference is about 10m

I have a allowed for a crane for 2 days to strip and fell in sections. 

I would estimate it will fill the 40 yrd bins  at least 10 times. its the timber removal thats the slow bit. I can load with the crane. 

Is there a better solution that people can recommend?  Would chipping all the timber be a option? Ie split it to chippable sizes with say a 360 with a pincher type attachment (ive seen this before as green waste disposal sites).  Not saying do it myself, saying potentially getting in operated plant to do this. The site does use a lot of woodchip so this may be a option. 

 

its in Berkshire. SL5

 

There is good access (having a temporary road laid out).

 

Im getting a quote from Richard Hall as they are up the road but any advice/ recommendations would be appreciated.

 

Many thanks

Jose

PS the tree is dying, hence the need to remove!

If you were in Dorset I'd have laid on the hook bins

There was that bloke that posted on here a few weeks ago looking for big lumps for his biomass boiler.  Offering to arrange artics to collect?

Thanks.

 

they are about 45 minutes away.

 

we could probably take it all but i suspect it’s too far away for them to be viable.
 

@jose if you are still looking to get rid drop me a pm.

 

im not sure how well it burns but anything burns with enough air and heat
