Advanced Tree Inspection in Liverpool
Client:
- Lime Pictures
- Tree Style Consultancy
Project Overview:
The commercial studios had historically expanded and resurfaced their car park, which gradually encroached on the rooting area of a mature tree. Over time, this restriction contributed to decline, and in recent years fungal brackets were observed at the base, raising concerns about potential internal decay and the risk of failure close to the property.
Our Role
We were commissioned to carry out specialist tree assessments using sonic tomography and resistograph drilling. These advanced diagnostic methods allowed us to pinpoint internal decay and evaluate the tree’s structural integrity.
Findings & Recommendations
- Decay issues were confirmed through technical testing.
- A clear risk profile was provided to the client.
- Proportionate tree management recommendations were supplied to mitigate risk.
- A comprehensive report documented all findings, ensuring transparency and compliance with best practice.
Outcome
The implementation of our recommendations demonstrated that reasonable and responsible steps were taken to manage tree risk on site. This project highlights our expertise in combining advanced diagnostic technology with practical arboricultural management to safeguard people, property, and long‑term site sustainability.
