How should tree stumps be handled during slope stabilization work where there are many stumps?

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

Are you studying the legal framework?

There’s a question we’re often asked regarding frame construction (including sprayed mortar).

 

So, what are we going to do about that stump?That's the point.

I think contractors who are actually doing the work hear this a lot.

If you don't know, would you have it extracted?!

People often say that, but removing the root makes the hill extremely unstable.

The reason is that when you pull out a tooth, you shake it really hard, right?

Nothing ever comes easily on the first try, so I end up trying all sorts of different approaches.

As a result, the surrounding ground shakes, causing the area around it to become increasingly loose.

It kind of defeats the whole purpose of protecting the slope, lol.

And what do we do about the huge hole left behind after the tree is uprooted?

That's how it goes.

In the worst-case scenario, we may apply a low-strength mortar spray to finish the surface.

(As a general rule, you should use materials that are stronger than the natural ground!)

 

The basics of slope protection on mountains with dense tree cover are

Cut the stump at the base of the mountain!

Cut the stump at the top.

It looks something like this.

But if you ask a lumberjack or a logging contractor, they absolutely won't cut it down lol

Because it damages the chainsaw blade!

The tree roots are intricately intertwined, sometimes even wrapping around stones.

Since there are mostly stones in it, that's what ruins the chainsaw blade.

It ends about 30 cm from the root.

The slope contractor or the general contractor will use a chainsaw to finish it right up to the edge!

 

Slope stabilization work is finally about to begin here!

So, to be continued next time.

 

See you later.

 

P.S. I'm back in Japan lol
