Arboricultural Pre-Development and Impact Assessment Reports

Moore Trees has extensive experience in Development, Design and Construction Projects based on working directly in Local Government and also as a Consultant. Having gained experience in the management of small confined city spaces through to larger more complex projects, where dealing with problems and finding solutions can be required at short notice. Many project stakeholders can be left awaiting a quick, but informed response to a design or construction problem.

Moore Trees has also worked with Indigenous and post settlement heritage experts on projects such as the Campbell Stores Project, one of the oldest structures in Australian European history and also Indigenous Archaeology experts for the Windsor Bridge project. Moore Trees has worked with many other specialist consultants to ensure the same goal is achieved through professional consultation.

Tree Protection Specification

Moore Trees will provide Tree Protection Specifications including Report and plans for your project.

Structural wood testing

Picus Sonic Tomograph testing: The Picus® Sonic Tomograph was developed by The Company Argus Electronics GmbH, Germany. It is a device created to measure decay within trees. The device has been accepted worldwide as a leading method of near non destructive testing of trees.

This instrument uses the velocity of sound waves to calculate the area of decay within a tree. These sound waves are activated from sensors placed around the tree. To date, Moore Trees has conducted numerous destructive tests (where the subject tree has been cut down) on many species of trees, both native and exotic. These tests have confirmed the accuracy of the Picus® Sonic Tomograph. Other independent studies have also confirmed the accuracy of this device

Pest and disease identification

Pest and disease can often have devastating effects on trees young and old.  Accurate identification through the collection of samples of either soil, plant tissue or pests can provide further crucial  information.  This in turn, allows specific recommendations of management options for the affected trees.

Risk Assessment Reports

Moore Trees has extensive experience in Local Government and private sector in dealing with Tree hazard Assessment. Initial hazard assessment experience was gained as a Technical Officer (Arboriculture) with Woollahra Municipal Council managing park and street trees through programmed inspections but also emergency situations that required a quick response due to storm events, building project impacts or mechanical accidents such as vehicle collisions.

As Principal Consultant, Paul Vezgoff has now gained further experience through further continuous education such as Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ), Quantified Tree Risk Assessment (QTRA) and industry conferences. Our experience as an expert court witness in cases also provides sound knowledge of tree risk associated case precedents. With the use of the Picus Sonic Tomograph equipment Moore Trees, has through testing hundreds of trees, built a sound knowledge of species based hazard potentials based on structural testing over the last eleven (11) years.

Moore Trees has also assessed trees in high security locations such as Long Bay and Silverwater Correctional Facilities, HMAS Creswell, and the Australian Federal Police Headquarters

Arboriginal Scar Tree Assessment Reports

Often Aboriginal Heritage Consultants require the help of an Arborist to establish the age of a tree to determine potential or otherwise of scarring from pre-European times. Moore Trees can help assess the age, health and possible origin of the scar and assess whether the tree is 200 years old or greater.
