Rail side tree removal at Crewe IEMD
This work, carried out for EWS (English Welsh and Scottish Railways) at their Crewe IEMD (International Electric Maintenance Depot) was for the removal of tall trees next to the rail line which were impeding access and could potentially damage the overhead electric lines.
The work was carried out over 1½ days during a weekend isolation of the line, so as to cause minimal disruption. Three filling and chipping teams were assigned to ensure that the work was completed well within the time allowed. The trees were felled under careful control to prevent any damage to the electrical structures. All the smaller cut material was chipped on site and larger logs removed.
The before and after shots above show how effectively this site has now been opened up and made safe by our skilled operators.
