Project Challenges
Given the impeding revocation of the Essex Tree Preservation Orders there was a clear need for a fast, clear and accurate assessment of all the relevant TPO’S within the Colchester Borough Council. Through the use of the our hand held Trimble GPS equipment we could undertake a fast but extremely accurate assessment of the trees and provide the necessary data to the client in a digital format suitable for import onto the client’s GIS system. Given this all the survey work and data collection was completed and submitted within the tight timescales of the project.
