Significant Trees

.

Anchorpile is aware of and undertakes work in accordance with the Australian Standard AS 4970-2009: Protection of trees on development sites. Anchorpile has a genuine interest in supporting the principles behind this Standard that is aimed at improving practices on development sites that have or may have an impact on trees.

 

The Anchorpile screw pile and void former system, used in the construction of footings and foundations for dwellings and other structures in domestic and landscape projects, is increasingly being recognized and utilized by clients as it enables builders to minimise the adverse effects on trees and their root system as described in this Standard.

 

Use of the screw pile and void former system means there is MINIMAL disturbance to the soil. Our equipment is smaller and less intrusive also on the building site. In some instances the existence of significant trees poses problems for builders and their clients e.g. may make building costs prohibitive or impossible. Working with Anchorpile may well mean these problems can be solved, allowing the client to meet the requirements regarding trees as stipulated in this Standard.
