Monumental Plane Tree Cabling

Installation of a dynamic cabling system on a monumental plane tree approximately 150 years old in the centre of Spoleto. The tree, of considerable historical and landscape value, had a main fork at about 4 metres height with an included bark union, posing a serious risk of structural failure. Following a thorough stability assessment using the VTA method and instrumental analysis, we installed a system of dynamic cables in the upper crown to reduce the load on the critical fork and limit oscillations during strong winds. The intervention preserved this magnificent historic specimen without altering its appearance, while ensuring the safety of the public area below.
