Description: Stability of trees (stem, branches) and the load they are facing depend on wood anatomical properties and other factors. Together they determine the safety as to be determined by the arborist expert. Rinntech mobile apps are mainly designed for tree risk assessors who have a level of responsibility which requires the collection of data and practical results based on measurable scientific analysis. This can simplify the work of assessment and place the burden of measurable inputs.

Added Bonus: HK$1500 VALUE Everyone registering for the Day 2 Understanding Wood Anatomy & Tree-Biomechanics for Safety Inspection will receive an ArWiLo Software licence (WIN, ANDROID, or MacOSX).

TSE Workshops

Bodo Siegert is a court-certified expert in tree care and tree statics in Nuremberg, Germany (www.sv-siegert.de). Head of the German association for arboriculture, work at height and ecology (BAHÖ e.V.), Bodo is involved in various national and international committees to develop urban tree care rules and regulations ensuring corresponding quality assurance. Focused on the continuous improvement of tree security examination, he established the Independent Tree Expert Group (ITEG), a network of international tree care experts pursuing an integrated tree assessment approach. He teaches at the Nuremberg School of Arborist Training for tree inspectors and experts in tree care and tree statics.

 

Tobias Siegert is the COO of the Freetree, supplier and equipment manufacturer for tree care, tree examination and work at heights products in Germany. Beneath his studies of mechanical engineering at the University of Erlangen, he developed TSE Tree Stability Evaluation, a software application that calculates pulling test sensor data for tree stability and security evaluation. Together with Bodo Siegert, Tobias is heading the Independent Tree Expert Group (ITEG). He teaches tree care experts for integrated tree statics examination, with special focus on pulling tests.

• Time: 9am to 5:30pm
• Maximum Attendees: 30 seats available
• Availability:This Workshop is available for all attendees who participated at this previous workshop as it builds on the contents of the Workshop Practical Biomechanics in Field Forensics OR have previously attended another tree pulling or tree statics workshop.  Please send documentary proof with registration.
• Course Fee: HK$1,290 per person
  • Early Registration Discount: to HK$1,160 until April 15

• Description: Tree Stability Evaluation (TSE) is a calculation programme for evaluation of stability and safety against fracture of trees by means of pulling tests. With the help of the TSE calculation programme the sensor-measured data collected from the pulling test are calculated in relation to the estimated wind load in order to obtain safety-related information about the respective tree. TSE combines a transparent calculation procedure with clear user navigation and thus reduces complexity of evaluation of the measured data in tensile tests for detailed examinations of trees.

This workshop gives theoretical and practical insights into static pulling tests and data calculation with TSE software to evaluate trees’ stability against uprooting and safety against fracture.
