SCREW PILE CONSTRUCTION TO SAVE MORETON BAY FIG

I have included this link because I followed this project with interest when it was being built (before this semester) . The contruction used to save the tree was screw pile footing . The 100mm diameter screw piles were driven down between the roots with minimal damage to the tree. The tree was cut back quite severely but now is back in full bloom. This tree would not have been saved if a more regular footing system was used.
