Subsidence Investigation Workshop

The aim of the course:

The aim of the course is to provide a programme that allows Arboricultural attendees to go away with sufficient understanding of how a claim to fell a tree implicated in subsidence should be processed in relation to:

• Understanding the insurance prospective
• Undertaking a desk top study of available data
• Data interpretation
• Making a site visit
• Mitigating the damage caused

The programme will cover the following issues:

• Subsidence a persistent problem
• What is Heave
• Preliminary actions in an alleged case of subsidence
• Diagnosing subsidence problems
• Trees and desiccation
• Subsidence monitoring
• Interpretation of laboratory and monitoring results
• Mitigating subsidence damage in relation to tree works

Each attendee will be able to take away with them a template that can be used to methodically work through a claim and allow conclusions to be drawn and thereafter can present these to other parties such as LA solicitors as a means of seeking a permanent solution to the claim.
