When laying and maintaining cables and pipes, tree roots get in the way. With up-to-date information on tree crowns, vulnerable tree zones and root risk zones from NEO, you reduce risks and costs.<\/p>

Gas, drinking and sewage water, electricity and data are transported by underground cables and pipes. Underground are also the roots of our trees. When roots are damaged by digging activities, not only the trees but also people have a problem, as trees keep our streets and houses cool and have ecological value. By properly surveying the environment at the design stage, these risks can be highlighted and costs saved.<\/p>

Making a design that fits well in the environment does require knowing where the trees are and being able to estimate where the roots are. However, surveying in the field yourself or making analyses with photographic material combined with manual digitising takes time. And open data on trees is often absent or incomplete. So how do you reduce the risk of digging damage without increasing design costs?<\/p>

The Tree Risk Service gives you instant insight into where the trees are and where the risk zones are. We combine information on the diameter and shape of the tree crown, the exact trunk position (possibly with BGT accuracy) and the surrounding risk zoning. This information allows you to optimally fit the design into its surroundings and estimate implementation costs. We provide this information so that it can be seamlessly applied in your design and analysis tools and integrated with other relevant information on the surroundings and assets.<\/p>

Risks for your implementation and also for the environment are thus reduced, you meet the preconditions of the Standard Institute on Trees, among others, and you can work more efficiently.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Within the Tree Risk Tool, we offer two options, Basic and Plus, made up of different components. These components are in line with the preconditions drawn up by the Standard Institute on Trees in cooperation with the industry and presented on the tree poster 'Working around trees', among others.\u00a0<\/p>

      Tree Risk Plus also provides additional insights into tree trunk positions and root risk zones. The so-called ImprovedStempositions were determined based on laser scanning data from the most recent data of the Actueel Hoogtebestand Nederland (AHN). The root position file is based on the tree crowns known to us. The Root Risk Zone provides a projection of the suspected root risk zones, by projecting the root zone relative to the improved trunk position. This provides a more accurate picture of the risks related to tree root zones.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

      NEO likes to contribute to a healthy and liveable living environment. For some time, we have been monitoring trees using the Tree Register, together with our partners in the open data corporation Tree Register. In doing so, we use remote sensing data such as laser scan data, aerial photos and also satellite images. These are all open datasets. So we can always provide an up-to-date overview of trees (including tree crowns and height and other characteristics).<\/p>

      With our tree risk services, we go a step further. We use Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to extract even more useful information from that open data, for example, stem positions, which we derive from laser altimetry data. With these more precise stem positions, useful insights can be extracted. For example, on which cadastral plot the tree is located, so that it becomes clear to whom the tree belongs and which rules apply. Another important application is that we can also make a better estimate of where root packs are located. This helps designers and groundworkers to better assess the risks to what is present in the subsurface early in the design process and optimally align the design with the surroundings. What is the best alignment? How many metres of trenching or drilling is involved? We deliver the information in such a way that it is easy to integrate with other sources of information (such as soil quality, archaeology, etc.) and so an integral assessment can be made.\u00a0If our information
      contributes to damage prevention and more pleasant work for
      ground workers, then we are happy.<\/span><\/p>
