Tree removal project for a long term client, this time in Buckinghamshire in the south of England.

After thorough ecological checks prior to starting the project involved removal of a large area of trees along with the roots to prepare the site for construction work.

The limited timescale of five days required the use of large plant to ensure the deadline would be achieved. Using our tree felling expertise and our experienced machine operators utilised both 8 and 13 tonne grapple equipped excavators along with a large, self-propelled chipper to chip all but the largest of logs. Mechanisation means that less men are required and a high level of safety with one of the excavator drivers effectively able to carry out two tasks when feeding the remotely controlled chipper!

PLS Group UK worked with the clients site managers to ensure safe operations, particularly with an open bridleway running through the centre of the site.

PLS utilise intercom systems installed within their saftey helmets allowing communication between both the chainsaw and machine operators along with site supervisors and banksmen. By having these systems it’s like an extra set of eyes and ears on a loud and busy site and allows the work method to delivered in a safe and efficient manner.

Brash was chipped into piles across the site to allow for the removal of the remaining tree roots. This chip then graded out in situ and the roots removed for disposal as green waste.

Once again PLS delivered the job safely, on time and within budget. The short , five day timescale was no problem and our team were parking the machines up ready for collection at 2pm on the Friday!!
