In this episode, we delve into the critical topic of safety and techniques in arboriculture, with a focus on rigging and lowering tree sections using ropes and pulley systems. This discussion is based on an in-depth document that analyzes various aspects of rigging operations, including material properties (such as ropes and pulleys), system construction, and the forces required for safe operations. Special attention is given to the safety of arborists involved in these activities.
The document draws from scientific research conducted on both real trees and in controlled lab environments, offering detailed analyses of load, force, and deformation experienced by the components in a rigging system. Join us to learn more about the science behind safe and effective tree dismantling techniques in arboriculture.
