Advanced Tree Assessment
Advanced tree assessment involves the utilization of cutting-edge technologies and methodologies to comprehensively understand the health, structure, and dynamics of trees.These advanced technologies collectively empower arborists to conduct thorough evaluations, identify potential risks, and implement targeted management strategies, ensuring the health and longevity of trees in diverse environments, from urban landscapes to natural ecosystems. The integration of these innovative tools enhances precision, efficiency, and sustainability in the field of arboriculture, ultimately contributing to the conservation and management of vital green assets.
Picus Sonic Tomograph
The Picus Sonic Tomograph is an advanced diagnostic tool used by arborists to assess the internal structure of trees. It works by sending sound waves through the tree trunk and measuring their speed, which varies depending on the density and condition of the wood. This allows for the creation of detailed cross-sectional images that reveal internal decay, cavities, or other structural defects.
Picus Tree Motion Sensor
A tree motion sensor is a device used by arborists to monitor the movement and sway of trees in response to environmental factors such as wind or ground movement. This real-time monitoring helps identify potential risks, such as weak root systems or structural defects, allowing for proactive management.
Ground Penetrating Radar
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a non-invasive tool that helps arborists assess and map tree root systems. It works by sending radar waves into the ground, which reflect back upon hitting roots, revealing their location, depth, and density. This allows arborists to create root maps and assess root health and structural integrity, aiding in effective tree care and management.
IML-Resi PD400 (Resistograph)
A resistograph is a diagnostic tool used to assess the internal condition of trees by measuring the resistance encountered as a thin drill penetrates the wood. This allows for the detection of decay, cavities, or structural weaknesses inside the tree without causing significant damage. The data collected provides a detailed profile of the wood's density.
Air Spade
The Air Spade is a specialized tool used by arborists for
non-invasive excavation around tree roots. It uses a high-velocity stream of compressed air to safely remove soil without damaging delicate roots, utilities, or underground structures. This makes it ideal for root collar excavation, soil decompaction, and root inspections.
