Case Study: Crane-Assisted Tree Removal, Edgeworth

The Brief

Insight Building Services contacted us to remove a large eucalypt from a development site in Edgeworth where a new childcare centre is being constructed.
Insight needed our arborist team to assist with the entire process to get the job done within a tight time schedule

The Challenge

The tree was a mature gum sitting right on the road boundary,too large and too close to powerlines and traffic for standard climbing and rigging techniques. This was always going to be a crane job, requiring careful coordination between our arborists, the crane operator, and traffic management on the road.

Our Approach

We brought in our full team for this one. Working with a crane organised by Insight, our climbing arborist sectioned the tree from the canopy down while each piece was lifted clear. Traffic control was coordinated by the construction team to keep the road safe during the lift.

Jobs like this need proper sequencing—the powerlines, traffic, crane movements, and falling timber all have to be managed carefully. We coordinated closely with the site manager to make sure our work fitted into the broader construction timeline without holding up other trades.

The Result

The site was cleared and ready for the next stage of construction within a day.
