Tree cabling in Chicoutimi
Arboriculture du Fjord offers tree cabling services in Chicoutimi, Jonquière, and throughout the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region. Tree cabling is a technique used to reduce the risk of branch failure when structural strength is weakened. This weakness is usually caused by included bark, cracks, cavities, or fungi. Once the issue is identified, the affected branch is secured to another part of the tree using a flexible and/or rigid steel cable.
Different cable sizes can be selected to support branches that may weigh up to 10 tons. The lifespan of a cable is approximately 15 to 30 years. Tree cabling helps keep trees safe while avoiding the higher cost of tree removal.
Tree cabling: essential in urban environments
Tree cabling is essential to protect pedestrians and motorists in urban areas. Large structural branches are secured to the trunk as a safety measure. This technique strengthens the tree’s structure while preventing branch failure. It also helps maintain the natural appearance of trees by supporting their growth and avoiding unnecessary tree removal.
Tree cabling techniques
Rigid cabling involves installing a steel rod into the trunk to strengthen the structure at the point of a crack.
Static flexible cabling uses a steel cable to connect a weakened branch to a healthy one. The cable is anchored using threaded rods inserted into the branches.
Dynamic flexible cabling is an alternative to static cabling. It uses a synthetic cable that wraps around the trunk instead of penetrating it with threaded rods.
