Hi Folks,

The following pictures are me supervising an excavation inside the TPZ, you are going to say it's only a trench which it is however we had to make sure we did not de stabilise the nearby trees.

We used a a small excavator with an experienced operator who could feel the roots when his bucket contacted them not to mention you could see a slight movement in the ground when contact was made.

A number of very small roots were cut with a handsaw and a couple of large structural roots were uncovered by hand and provision made for the new drainage pipe to pass underneath the roots this was my purpose of being there to offer solutions for the pipes to pass by, under or over the roots as we managed the laying of the new pipes...part of our job that rarely get seen because it's basically a trench to look at....lol.
