Integrity Tree Services was enlisted by a large Investor-Owned Utility to address a critical challenge. Our task involved clearing 56 acres of land for renewable energy infrastructure within a tight two-month timeframe. Our responsibilities included constructing an entrance, mowing underbrush, cutting and skidding 30 acres of timber, and chipping it into piles. The primary objective was to safely and rapidly clear the site for civil work to begin.
Drawing upon our team’s proficiencies, we tackled the project with punctuality. Skilled operators managed various equipment, adjusted job site locations as required, and established a temporary construction easement. Kevin, one of our talented equipment operators, cut, processed, and stacked 26 acres of mature timber in four weeks.
At Integrity Tree Services, we deploy a diverse array of equipment tailored to each project’s unique demands. For the heavy clearing, our crews utilized a classic trio of feller buncher, skidder and a track chipper. Having previously mowed a 30-acre parcel in the area, our team was well-acquainted with the terrain.
