Emergency Tree Removal and Wood Processing at Schöller Commercial Park

Remove storm-damaged trees threatening property line and process timber using battery-powered chainsaw for noise restriction compliance in commercial zone

Steps

1 / 7 | Assess damaged trees and establish safety perimeters at commercial park

The team is conducting a thorough assessment of storm-damaged trees along the property line at Schöller Commercial Park. They are evaluating the structural stability of each damaged tree, identifying hazardous hanging branches ('widow-makers'), and determining the risk level of each tree. The assessment includes checking root stability, trunk integrity, and the extent of crown damage. They're documenting each tree's condition with photographs and marking trees with colored tags to indicate removal priority (red for immediate hazard, yellow for secondary priority, green for minor damage that might be salvageable). They're also examining the surrounding area for potential obstacles or complications such as power lines, buildings, and other structures that might affect the removal process. Based on their assessment, they're establishing safety perimeters with barrier tape, warning signs, and physical barriers to prevent unauthorized access to dangerous areas.

2 / 7 | Setting up Rigging Systems for Controlled Tree Felling

The team is establishing specialized rigging systems to ensure the storm-damaged trees can be safely dismantled and felled in a controlled manner, directing them away from nearby structures and electrical lines. This critical preparatory step involves strategic placement of multiple anchor points, installation of pulleys and ropes, calculation of tension requirements, and precise positioning of equipment to create controlled directional forces. Jürgen is supervising the rigging setup, providing expert guidance on load calculations and anchor placement based on his extensive experience. Tobias is handling the physical installation of the higher anchor points using climbing equipment, while Elena assists with ground preparation and equipment organization. The team conducts stress tests on all rigging components before proceeding with actual tree felling operations.

3 / 7 | Safely Dismantle and Fell Storm-Damaged Trees Using Battery-Powered Chainsaw

The carpentry team is conducting a controlled dismantling and felling operation of several storm-damaged trees at the Schöller Commercial Park perimeter. They are working methodically from top to bottom on each tree, removing damaged limbs first before proceeding with the main trunk removal. Due to noise restrictions in this commercial zone, they are exclusively using battery-powered chainsaws. Tobias Schmidt, as Site Foreman, is overseeing the operation, coordinating the cutting sequence and ensuring proper notches and back cuts are made for directional felling. Jürgen Hoffmann is providing expert guidance on assessing structural integrity of partially damaged trees, identifying tension and compression wood, and determining the safest cutting techniques. Elena Kovač is managing the ground operations, maintaining communication with the cutting team, and ensuring the drop zone remains clear. Each tree is being carefully dismantled with considerable attention to hanging branches and leaning structures that could shift unpredictably during cutting. The team is implementing proper chainsaw safety protocols including maintaining secure footing, using both hands on the saw, keeping the body clear of the cutting plane, and being vigilant about potential kickback situations.

4 / 7 | Processing Felled Timber into Transportable Lengths

After the successful felling of the storm-damaged trees, the team now focuses on processing the timber into manageable, transportable lengths. The logs need to be assessed for quality, marked for cutting, and then systematically sectioned using the battery-powered chainsaw to comply with noise restrictions in the commercial zone. This process requires careful measurement to maximize the usable timber while facilitating safe transport back to the Fischer facility. Each log is first cleared of branches, then assessed for structural integrity and potential defects. The highest quality sections are prioritized for construction-grade lumber, while compromised sections are marked for alternative uses like mulch or firewood. Each cut is planned to optimize both transport efficiency and eventual milling requirements, with standard lengths of 3-4 meters being targeted when possible. The workers carefully position each log before cutting to ensure stability and prevent chainsaw binding, using specialized timber tongs and cant hooks to rotate the heavy logs as needed.

5 / 7 | Clear and clean commercial park perimeter of debris and wood chips

Following the successful felling and processing of the storm-damaged trees, the team now needs to thoroughly clean the commercial park perimeter. This involves collecting and removing all wood debris, branches, wood chips, sawdust, and other tree-related waste materials that accumulated during the previous tasks. The work requires systematic cleaning to ensure the site is returned to its original condition or better, with special attention to safety hazards like slippery wood chips on walkways and parking areas. The team must also check for any overlooked small branches that could become projectiles in future storms. All collected debris must be sorted - larger wood pieces for recycling, wood chips for landscaping or biomass, and waste materials for proper disposal according to local regulations. The cleaning process must be thorough to meet the client's standards and prevent complaints from business park tenants.

6 / 7 | Transport processed timber to Fischer prefabrication facility

Following the processing of storm-damaged trees at the Schöller Commercial Park, the carpenters need to efficiently load, secure, and transport the salvaged timber to their main facility for further processing. This task involves careful logistics planning, proper loading techniques to prevent damage to the material, and secure transportation methods. The timber varies in size and quality, with some pieces being up to 4 meters in length. The team must ensure all timber is properly inventoried before transport, securely fastened to prevent shifting during transit, and unloaded safely at the destination. They follow company protocols for documentation of the salvaged materials and maintain communication between the on-site team and the facility staff expecting the delivery.

7 / 7 | Mill and Process Salvaged Timber in Workshop for Future Construction Use

After transporting the storm-damaged timber to the Fischer prefabrication facility, the team is now working on milling and processing this salvaged material to convert it into usable construction material. This involves careful assessment of each log for structural integrity, cutting and sizing according to specifications, proper kiln drying to reduce moisture content, planing and finishing to create smooth surfaces, and sorting the processed timber by quality grades. The team must identify defects like cracks, knots, and rot that could compromise structural integrity, while maximizing the yield from the salvaged material. They're operating the CNC machines, planers, and specialized equipment with precision to transform the raw logs into dimensional lumber, beams, and other construction components that meet building code requirements and quality standards.
