The aim of the course is to provide a programme that allows Arboricultural attendees to go away with sufficient understanding of how a claim to fell a tree implicated in subsidence should be processed in relation to:

·         Understanding the insurance prospective

·         Undertaking a desk top study of available data

·         Data interpretation

·         Making a site visit

·         Mitigating the damage caused

The programme will cover the following issues:

·         Subsidence a persistent problem

·         What is Heave

·         Preliminary actions in an alleged case of subsidence

·         Diagnosing subsidence problems

·         Trees and desiccation

·         Subsidence monitoring

·         Interpretation of laboratory and monitoring results

·         Mitigating subsidence damage in relation to tree works

Each candidate will be able to take away with them a template that can be used to methodically work through a claim and allow conclusions to be drawn and thereafter can present these to other parties such as LA solicitors as a means of seeking a permanent solution to the claim.
