Lime tree dismantle

[Adam Bourne]

Week or so ago I was brought in to a local firm to take out this lime tree in a cemetery, Ganoderma Applanatum had been present for a couple of season but not sure how long.

 

We had 2 fair sized drop zones but rigged out most of it to help stop rouge branches from being ricocheted in the grave stones. Few were just dropped.

 

The back limb entering the chestnut behind where put on a controlled zip line to prevent any tangling in the limbs of the chestnut, we couldn't just let them fly down as the only decent anchor point was behind several graves.

 

The spar timber was rigged down until I had a clear drop, then chogged down in 8/10 ft pieces.

Nice work, looked like a timely removal that!

Cheers guys, the x rings rocked but with only 2 being used that day I was a little limited to what I could achieve. I used an ISC pulley Block to take out one stem, only reason being was because of the distance between the main rigging anchor and more importantly there was a lovely drop zone right below. Job was completed overall in a steady 8 hours. Didn't bust a gut.
