The existing Cannons Creek Library has outgrown its premises within a row of shops and will relocate to nearby Bedford Reserve. The new building will be twice the size of the original library, incorporating modern, modular facilities that allow for future expansion as community needs grow. The location will be close to the local pool and playground, and well connected to beautiful outdoor spaces in nearby Cannons Creek Park, where Tend Tree Consultancy has also been assisting with upgrades currently underway. The new library will feature an internet hub, requiring installation of underground power and fibre infrastructure. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/698e41ee6c7b6f0ed903fc75/f85241fb-7e07-423b-ae53-93fdb6ee8c01/Picture+2.jpg Projects - Excavation Within Root Zones: Lessons from Cannons Creek Library - Bedford Reserve currently hosts seven mature trees that provide shade, personality and ecological value to the area, as well as offering a potential space to sit and enjoy a good book. To ensure success for both construction and the health of Bedford Reserve’s trees, our teammate Alice oversaw the installation of below-ground electrical and internet services for the new building. We used AirVac excavation to create trenches that were within the structural root zones and/or the tree protection zone of the nearby trees. Exposing the roots as the topsoil and clays were removed allowed Alice to determine whether the roots would be pruned or preserved. Remaining roots had the soil carefully vacuumed around and lastly wrapped in hessian to ensure they would not dry out before backfilling. Every decision we made on this project took into account the structure, role, and long-term health of trees’ underground systems.
