Quite a common term on work specs but as Tony says a bit ambiguous. It could mean a number of things but in my experience there is normally an obvious stand out candidate.

 

Its a shame BS 3998 2010 is not being used as intended, these "vague" issues wouldn't occur.

 

apparently arbs arent qualified enough to be assessing such things, so how could one be expected to decide for oneself which is the faulty limb?

 

If the OP isnt sure then the specification was poor:001_rolleyes:

 

I see this all the time and its really one of my bug bares, specifications are that, specified, a total stranger to the job should be able to turn up blind with the spec and be in no uncertain terms as to the job at hand. If there is any discrepancies on completion the spec can than then be taken into the argument.

 

Its as much for the operator as the managers/boss, theres no arguments between the crew/manager/and client when specified correctly

Yea i agree and i have looked at specs with the term faulted limb and in certain trees there have been a number of canditates. More often than not however it has been obvious. I suppose it shoud be worded more specificly....ie.....Faulted limb to NW At approx 7mtrs. With approx limb diameter included.

I try to decifer reports before I go to site and often use google earth and streetview if possible. Quite regular reports produced for planning purposes do not contain information for contractors trying to price the job.

 

I have just priced a job with over 200 trees on site and trying to get a list of trees to be removed from the developer is pretty hard work. They simply give you a copy of the report which will contain all the information and 1000's of £ to produce but it can take hours to read and dissect it all. However, the report in my opening post actualy has work schedule attached even if it did have a phrase I was not familier with.
