Root Protection on a Building Site - info needed

[chrisgilltreesurgery]

Hi im looking for info on BS for root protection on a new build site, if I fence off with chestnut pailing fencing at the drip line is this sufficient?

 

Any info will be appreciated, but It must comply with British Standards

Roughly speaking, If its a singled stemmed tree then measure the stem diameter at 1.5m and times it by 12. Thats the radius of your RPA.

 

The standard just says fencing should be 'fit for purpose' to keep construction activities at bay. Usually Heras but full scaffold framework is what they recommend. Depends on the situation
