Cable Bracing in Trentham East 3458

Installing cable bracing throughout a trees crown provides an alternate solution to the removal of a hazardous tree. Cabling can provide a viable method to mitigate and control a dangerous stem or branch that is likely to fail and therefore maintain the trees retention value in a safe environment.

Installation of cable bracing provides structural support to a trees crown that will improve structural integrity for three main reasons.

The most common reason for installing a cable brace is to prevent a major failure of a healthy tree that may have one or several major structural faults.

This may include co-dominant stems, acute stem or branch attachments where’s there’s included bark and a likely point of failure in a union.

Secondly, there might be a scenario where a site may require hazard mitigation of a tree(s) to prevent possible damage to its surroundings. This may include important surrounding vegetation of property such as buildings or landscaping.

Another major reason for installing cable bracing is to provide additional support to a previously damaged tree that may have  suffered a major stem or branch failure in a recent storm event where the crown has become compromised.

How does cabling and bracing improve my trees safety?

Before the cable bracing can be installed, our climbing arborists will most likely have to prune the tree to clean out dead or damaged branches as well as reducing any over extended lateral branches to minimise improve weight distribution.

After the pruning works have been completed the cables can be installed.

The dynamic cables are manufactured from high strength synthetic fibres and are attached with a loop around the subject branches and woven together using a needle.

The cables are not fully tensioned to allow the trees crown some natural sway in normal conditions.

With a cable in place, supported branches cannot move past a tipping point of failure during a major wind event.

Which trees will perform best with cable bracing installation?

There are certain species and certain conditions which will present and allow maximum benefit of cable bracing installation.

Trees that grow to have a large natural spread of their canopies, trees that are commonly multi stemmed or have long narrow stems and branches that are likely to daily would be most suited to cable bracing systems to improve their safety factor.

A list of trees that may be suitable to requiring a cable bracing system would include but no be limited to: A variety of Eucalyptus species including Lemon scented, Spotted Gum, Red/Grey Iron Bark, Red Gum, Yellow/Red/Grey Box, Messmate, Peppermint Gum, Cypress, Oaks, Desert Ash, Radiata Pine, Poplar, London Plane, Wattle, Liquid Ambar.

Your trees check list to consider before installing cable bracing:

• What is the trees overall health and sustainability?
• Am I willing to accept the fact that installing cable bracing is no guarantee of success and that failure is still a possibility.
• Will it be viable to have the cable inspected yearly by one of our trained climbing arborists and replaced once the tree stems continue to grow.
• Is there enough structural and sound  timber to anchor the cable?
• Is cable bracing the most suitable method  to treat this tree? Is tree removal the best option when considering the overall risk factor and condition of the tree?
