Installation of external wall insulation.

Remove roots and install a root barrier along the road-side boundary of the tennis courts at Mapperley Park Tennis Club. Works comprise excavation of a 300mm wide trench to a depth of 1m, clean pruning of any roots encountered, installation of a Geosynthetics RootBlock barrier, and reinstatement of the affected surfacing. The works are intended to prevent further root-related damage to the court surface and address existing trip hazards. All excavation and root pruning shall be undertaken in accordance with BS 5837:2012, with advance notice given to Tree Services to allow supervision of any significant root pruning. On balance, the works represent a pragmatic solution to ongoing infrastructure damage whilst seeking to minimise impacts on the adjacent trees.
