Tree Shadow Analysis

Shadow analysis should normally be included within an Arboricultural Implication Assessment (AIA). Using my experience and ultimately my software program ArborShadow I can carry out extensive shadow analysis between existing trees and a proposed development site.

Each tree or group of trees is analysed in relation to a chosen target area (such as a patio, garden etc) and a colour coded graph (for use in reports) produced detailing the level of shadow intrusion. A text statement includes an appraisal of the analysis with mitigation where necessary. The results can be supplied in raw form as an email text with graphics or within a report document using your own logo etc.


The analysis process is time consuming and this is reflected in the cost per tree. Prior to commencing works I would assess the layout to determine which trees require detailed analysis and submit a quotation for approval.

The results are supplied by email as a Pdf, Jpeg or pure text file.

Tree Shadow Plans

Plans showing shadow movement can be layered over a site drawing to assist in determining shadow influence.

 


Note: I work to your specific requirements and store your personal settings for future commissions. I can use your own template, logo, legend or create these for you. Drawings are supplied as DWG and PDF (to the paper size you require). Drafts are always sent out initially as a PDF to invite feedback and any required changes.
