Tree Anchoring System Introduction

Hardman Square, Spinningfield

Client: Allied London

Project Specification:

This prime commercial development located in the city centre of Manchester required landscaping to
create a more natural green environment. Eight large 1m girth oak trees were planted into
preformed concrete containers, each with their own watering system and drainage channel. The
close proximity of the surrounding buildings created a ‘wind tunnel’ effect which meant that the trees
needed to be secured for the first 5 years.

Tree Anchor System: RF4RTB - 3 x anchor cables with 3 x expanding eyebolts, 1 x two way ratchet tensioner c/w 10m of 6mm Ø galvanised cable. Plus PM4: 3 x Plat-Mat rootball protection mesh.
