The Challenge
Symal Infrastructure, a leading player in major public and private infrastructure projects, engaged Arborcraft to manage early tree-clearing works on a large-scale development. The primary goal was to ensure safety while expediting the project timeline. Traditional tree-clearing methods posed risks of falling trees and soil instability, often stretching the process to a full week.
Symal needed a specialised approach that balanced speed, precision, and safety to keep the project on schedule and mitigate hazards.
A tailored approach
Arborcraft brought a tailored methodology to the project, leveraging advanced tree-cutting and grabbing techniques to eliminate risks and drastically improve efficiency.
Safety-first execution: Arborcraft minimised the risk of uncontrolled falls and site hazards by cutting and securing trees before removal, ensuring a safer worksite.
Accelerated timelines: Traditional clearing methods took up to a week, but Arborcraft’s streamlined approach reduced the process to just two days, keeping the overall project on track.
Seamless collaboration: The team worked closely with Symal’s project engineers to integrate their work into the broader infrastructure plan, maintaining clear communication and adaptability throughout.
Real results
By implementing their specialised methodology, Arborcraft delivered measurable improvements to the project’s efficiency and safety.
- 50%+ reduction in tree clearing time, cutting project delays significantly.
- Enhanced site safety, minimising risks associated with tree falls and unstable soil.
- Strong partnership development, reinforcing Symal’s confidence in Arborcraft’s expertise for future projects.
Symal Infrastructure values Arborcraft's collaboration and recognises its role in maintaining project momentum while upholding the highest safety standards. Given this success, the partnership will continue in future developments.
“Arborcraft’s approach to tree clearing made a huge difference in our project’s efficiency and safety. What would typically take a week was completed in just two days, without compromising quality or safety. Their expertise is a major asset to our work, and we look forward to collaborating with them again.”
