Decay detection is sometimes necessary where suspected decay or hollowing cannot be sufficiently assessed by visual means. Data provided by specialist decay detection equipment enables a more accurate assessment of internal decay and the likelihood of tree failure.
For decay detection, we use the latest Resistograph Microdrill (IML Resi-PD400), which accurately measures the drilling and feed resistance along a needle when inserted at a constant rate into a tree. This enables small changes of internal wood structure to be detected. The data is recorded digitally, and findings are illustrated with a coloured graph in the report. The Resi-PD400 is a versatile piece of equipment that can be used on the ground to assess the trunk and large structural roots, or higher up in the tree as part of an aerial/climbed inspection.
We provide decay detection to customers throughout North London, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire and the surrounding areas. If you have a tree that is at risk of decay, give our team a call. We will accurately identify any issues and determine the best course of action for your tre
