Case Studies
Dirft 111 – Roadside Clearance for Development in Rugby/Daventry
As part of the Dirft III development works near Hillmorton Rugby the developer needed a area of Roadside trees cleared to allow for a new slip road from the A428 into there site.
A number of small local firms had been approached with the intention of clearing the trees using man power to manually fell trees drag the material across a ditch and up a bank and chip using traditional small tow behind hand fed wood chippers.
This would have caused weeks of disruption on the road as well as being hard work!
We allocated 3 days to fell and process the trees. To minimise reliance on potentially unreliable external traffic management contractors we installed and maintained two way traffic lights ourselves allowing us a one lane closure to work in.
The trees where felled using chainsaws and moved up the bank using a 8 tonne 360 excavator fitted with a selector grab. The trees could then be stacked and fed into a crane fed chipper with a 15inch diameter in-feed.
The works were completed safely and comfortably within the 3 days allocated with minimal disruption to the public.
Private Landowner, with Roadside trees, Northampton.
This landowner had a small holding with a number of trees running along side a busy country road. The owner had a noticed a number of trees which had large dead branches which were liable to fall into the road.
Using our own Traffic management set we were able to cost effectively remove the effected part of the trees in just a few hours.
