trunks in one tree (Figure 1), safe felling process will be:
 Before conducting cutting work, barricade the area with safety tape and signage (area shall
be > the estimate height of the tree).
 Assess Tree Center of Gravity (CoG) to anticipate falling direction.
 Excavate the soil one side of the trunk area (on falling side) until the roots appear and cut off
all roots. (Figure 2)
 Use the excavator bucket to push the tree down in the specified direction.
 After falling, cut the trunk and branches with chainsaws.
