Case Study: Pacific Gas and Electric preserves a historic redwood tree during pipeline excavation with Davey Resource Group

Pacific Gas and Electric preserves a historic redwood tree during excavation with Davey

The customer, Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E), faced a challenge when a pipeline inspection tool became stuck, requiring an excavation that endangered a historic landmark redwood tree. Davey Resource Group provided a senior consulting utility forester to oversee the project, ensuring compliance with protective ordinances and the tree's survival during the necessary gas line recovery.

Davey's forester remained on-site to secure an emergency exemption and meticulously guide the excavation. The consultant instructed the crew on proper root trimming and backfilling techniques to protect the tree's health and soil conditions. As a result, Davey helped PG&E safely recover the tool while successfully preserving the historic redwood, leaving the client satisfied with the project outcome.
