Why shovel? The history, benefits and opportunities for snow and ice management

History of snow removal

According to the National Snow and Ice Data Center, monitoring of snow, the first attempts involved citizens leveling piles of snow, sled in 1700 to facilitate traffic. Several cities have ordinances that require homeowners to clear their sidewalks but the streets were not cleared so far. Travel and exchange of goods, therefore, depends on the people clearing the streets. Winter Journey in the early1800, mainly as a result of walking. With the increasing industrialization in the mid-1800s came the first snow plow, pulled by horses, and allows the transport to bring winter storms in a hurry. The snow plow the basis of established municipal liability snow removal, but also created problems for traders complain the piles of snow released their facades and sidewalks.

Transport drivers and rejected channelsand the irregular surface of the road after plowing. Some cities have responded with a spoon work in collaboration with the snow plowing, transport and discharge into rivers. The salt was used in some cities, but has been strongly objected to slide destroyed roads and damaged clothing and shoes of pedestrians. After the snow storm in 1888 recognized the need for cities and the efficiency of snow removal and better organized. Instead of waiting until the storm was almostIn addition, city officials began to plow when the storm began to produce results better and faster ways canceled. Dividing the city into sections A and hire more drivers, the roads cleared more efficiently.

the arrival of the machine, the distance has been revolutionized in the snow of the 20th century century. Engine plows and dump trucks arrived back in 1913th Many cities abandoned horse-drawn carriages and motor fleets of snow removal. Plow tractors equipped with CaterpillarThe leaves were used, along with trucks, for agriculture, while the steam shovels, cranes and railway platform cars were used to carry away the snow. Snowshoeing was also used in 1900. As more and more cars took to the streets, however, has created new problems, such as public safety requires the removal of light snowfall. In addition, the residential streets and main roads is necessary to dispel. Plow left a slippery layer of ice on the road to city officials began spreading saltTon. It is no longer concerned with the protests, salt spreaders Motorized an important tool. Later, reports of damage to vegetation and cars has led to the salt shakers with improved performance indicators and more. With so many cars on the street in shopping centers and office buildings began to need their parking spaces for employees and customers to see clean, creating a niche market. Little snow plows and guns were in demand and many these companies againprivate contractors for snow removal, to clear their lots.

While the introduction of motor vehicles and the subsequent rapid technological progress, snow plowing and administration, basic process of agriculture today is not much different from what it was 75 years ago. Although the improvement of the weather experts were able to better predict and prepare for a storm, we still have to wait for the snow, made to him byWay.

Why the need to remove the snow?

While the snow is a wonderful place, a parking lot, street or sidewalk is dangerous and annoying for those who are determined snowfall can not be changed on the day. With so many people to leave, increases the potential for accidents and injuries wet and icy sidewalks and parking lots. 90% of slips and falls occur in less than an inch of snow, it is importantmanage the business properly for winter conditions to reduce their liability. The protection of concrete and / or asphalt is an added benefit of clearing snow from your property.

liability issues, the National Safety Council estimates there are 300,000 injured and more than 1,500 deaths per year due to climatic conditions during the winter. Premise liability laws refer to the customer's responsibility to eliminate hazardous conditions around your propertyAvoid injury score. This is the category of law, which accidents of ice and snow. The developer then given a window view of the storm, in the snow to clean up after, parking lots and sidewalks of ice, and take steps for the formation of ice in the future to prevent .

This often also for monitoring the temperature is outside, if the temperature of the pavement surface and requires a type of surface treatment to avoid the ice.While construction companies hire many external conditions and to handle the snow, for the responsibility of the snow damage is not necessarily transferred to the management of contractors. It 'important to understand, then, their options for snow removal, and research potential of the 'expression of a snow removal program that protects your property, employees and customers. In recent rulings against the owners and managers of buildings demonstrate the severity of slip and fallCredits can be, and stress the importance of managing the snow and ice on his property in a conscious way:


$ 475,000 awarded to a woman in New York fell and slid into a flea market parking lot. The defendant claimed that the owner of the flea market and the owner of a lot adjacent lots were negligent in their compensation a snowstorm the day before.
Connecticut $ 2,000,000 granted to a man slipped on the ice in front of a hotel. The lawsuit alleges that hotelaware that the area to solve the ice for several years, but not the problem and warn pedestrians.
$ 390,000 awarded a Philadelphia man who slipped into an industrial park of ice. He said the owner of the business park allows rainwater to drain directly into the action and not of salt, a shovel or ice and snow most of the game.
$ 942,000 to an Omaha man slipped on ice while he climbed over a pile of snow in front of a motel. The jury found that the motelThe parking was not sufficient light to reveal the icy surface.




Effects of snow on the concrete and asphalt, can be a very solid, it actually contains many microscopic steps. These tunnels are the first crystallization of concrete is the transformation from liquid to solid block of crystal growth in August cement paste. When water freezes, expands its volumeabout nine percent and the water entered these steps, broken glass, needles with pasta. melt the snow, concrete and left in the tunnel during the night only to freeze again during the time of cracks and holes in your property. Remove the snow from the soil surface will be the concrete to minimize the water content and frost damage, which helps preserve your investment.

Asphalt is a mixture of coal, oil, Cure spread gravel and aggregate for packed earth and gravel for drainage. Lower the heat and stress of traffic, pavement cracks may leave gaps for snow and water penetration. The water freezes in winter and dust resulting expansion of the forces and gravel, leaving a hole in the ice melts again. The thin layer of asphalt over the hole that weakens and eventually collapses causing a dent. To avoid this danger, unsightly and potentially harmfulSnow> should always be removed from the surface. While it is impossible to maintain the asphalt completely dry during and after winter storms, snow removal reduce the amount of water available to penetrate into cracks and damage to minimize the freezing of his fate.

How many treatments work surface

fusion products are designed to gather weaken the bond between ice / snow and the ground is just completely melted all the ice and snow.Defrost solid chemicals are not able to melt a bit '. When they come into contact with water, but salt is dissolved in saline liquid that lowers the freezing point of water and melts the ice and snow on contact. The brine is distributed under the ice and breaks the bond between ice and asphalt, the plows can not remove the ice from the surface. The melting point of action will continue until the brine is diluted to such an extent that the freezing of the solution reached the groundTemperature. Some surface treatments and chemical heat released when water is resolved as quickly as melting snow. The effectiveness of various chemicals depends on the temperature if the salt have direct contact with moisture to meet the needs or whether they absorb moisture from the air. All these factors are important in the selection of the best icing for their work.

eutectic temperature of lower temperatures in brine Deicerscan melt the ice is called the eutectic temperature. eutectic temperature, but it applies only to a certain concentration of antifreeze in water and antifreeze is not able to stay in this concentration for a long time, and always will be that rather than snow and ice melted more dilute. Because the solution is gradually weaker, the freezing point increases gradually. Therefore, the eutectic temperatures are much lower than the temperature at which it can be effectively freeze. ToFor example, the eutectic temperature of sodium chloride 6ËšF but its actual temperature only 15ËšF. The minimum effective temperature is a significant number that the thaw in the choice of a product. Make sure that the ingredients of a product and the effective temperature as a deicer manufacturers sometimes consumers from misleading advertising the eutectic temperature on the package without clear what the search.

Since the melting ratelower temperatures, the salt is less effective in melting ice and chemical it takes to do the job. The following table shows how the temperature, the melting rate of sodium chloride, and demonstrate that common in colder temperatures, more salt to melt ice is concerned. In colder climates, choose a chemical with an effective lower temperature allows a greater amount of snow to melt a pound of salt.

Fusion of the melting rate is a measure of the rapid melting of formoccurs at different temperatures and the ability to melt, the rate of temperature influence.  

Antifreeze

de-icing products can extend, alternatively, before the snow falls in an attempt to prevent the accumulation of ice. Sitting on a surface of rock salt will do nothing, but when the snow falls resulting brine withdrawal prevents the formation of a bond and be ready to plow a parking space. In addition to not wait until the ice is broken,clean area is plowed, plowed under when the ice has the option of bail. anti-icing applications, often with the liquid and, once implemented, may have implications for several days, ie, which remain on the sidewalk when the snow storm did not take or late. When the storm hit, to reduce pre-treatment of a service time of the website and the amount of the dispersion of chemicals. The temperature may be a factor, but, as the use of liquid at temperatures that are too hotdangerous sidewalks, slippery. It 'so important to work with a well-trained entrepreneur who knows these processes.

Chloride Brine vs Dry

In colder temperatures, the results of the application is slow and requires a lot of chemicals. In extreme cold, the addition of liquid salt rock salt to improve the yield. For some, the application of a liquid, which seems counterintuitive to the sidewalk and cause anxiety, but there is no doubt thatliquid de-icing is melting faster and last longer than traditional applications of salt. Rock salt is needed to form a brine solution is 23% salt to melt ice on. Add salt before spreading which means less moisture in the salt must be to begin to do their work dry. In addition, the brine is liable to the surface better than dry salt, which can be dispersed bounce, traffic and wind. Apply salt, wet salt used much less in general, and sinksTime to clean up the country.

Arena

The sand is sometimes the spreading of salt to improve traction, but after the snow and ice have melted, the floor of the pavilion has less traction sand, ties. Tests conducted by the National Security Council has determined that the salt as the abrasive slide protection than when applied to melt the normal rates. Proper use of defrosting, with the removal of snow and ice must be sufficient and the need toSand.

Environmental impact

Most environmental impacts will not damage the product itself, but the improper use or misuse of the product. Many of the chemicals used Deich used in agricultural applications and are not necessarily harmful to vegetation. Risk of de-icing chemicals to the environment occurs when the concentration of chemicals to abnormally high concentrations in the soil increases. How can deforestation and fertilizer brownapplied is more to the ice and use more salt than necessary, nor snow for decadence and degradation. The best way to prevent damage is to avoid an excessive and choose the most effective product for your situation. The most effective product means that you have shrubs and fewer chemicals to clean the same amount of snow and ice to minimize exposure to plants and trees.

Most of the damage to defrost specific chemicals are not the same chemicals, butthe effects of freezing and thawing. Lowering the freezing point of water, ice can increase the number of freeze-thaw cycles and aggravate the problem. Temperatures vary between 10ËšF and 20ËšF, the water remains frozen. A rock melting salt brine and water, but freezes thaw at temperatures below 15ËšF and, above 15ËšF resulting in a freeze-thaw cycles, which increases applied without de-icing droplets.For this reason, it is important to note the temperature lower when you select an effective deicer chemicals. It 'also important to remove snow as soon as the sidewalk deicer has broken the link. Snow removal leaves less water available, concrete to penetrate into the holes.

Green Alternative

calcium magnesium acetate (CMA) was created in response to the concerns of the effects of salt on vegetation and concrete structures such as bridges and developedParking. In the decade of 1970, the Federal Highway Administration, CMA, with the only alternative to chemical corrosion from salt identified. It 's almost as corrosive as tap water and is biodegradable in soil. CMA can increase the permeability of the soil, can improve plant growth and is unlikely to reach groundwater, but at a price: it costs about 30 times more than rock salt. While some situations require the use of environmentally sensitive CMA, many of the traditional chemicalIcing is not a threat, when applied at reasonable prices.

Snow Relocation

This practice is the weight of snow and tow trucks to another location and can be an important management tool for your business. Instead of plowing the snow in big pile in the middle of their cars, take up valuable space in some cases, snow can be transported to another site to melt. The piles of dirty snow can be unattractive, dark businessSigns and shop fronts and create dangerous paths of melted snow re-freeze when the temperature drops. When removing snow from lot to offer, can, of course, a safe place to reduce barriers and increase the areas of pavement.

Snow removal contractors

The Better Business Bureau offers these tips for hiring a contractor for snow removal:


Get several estimates and noted that the service is expensive is not necessarily the best.
E 'Make sure you know the prices of options and are aware of any additional costs. No penalty on the basis of inches of snow or a fixed rate for each season? How does the company determine the size of the snow? There are additional costs sometimes in big storms?
Find out what is included in the budget, such as sidewalks, steps and the cost of salt? The area cleared during the storm and then? There are additional costs if the return, the entrepreneur?
AskReferences and check them out.
Check the BBB reliability report on company is planning to use.
Make sure a written contract and the company can demonstrate that they are insured and bequests. Ask whoever you can for the damage, roads cracked, and how to terminate the contract if necessary.




Fusion products

de-icing materials are highly variable and can range from rock salt known for liquid chemical.The type of material used depends on the availability, environmental factors and effectiveness in terms of speed or temperature. No matter what the snow used for chemical management, it takes time for them to be in solution and melt the ice, no matter how it is applied. can avoid the understanding of the icing of your choice and the application of its chemical properties surplus to protect their property and save money. Although not complete, here are some of the commonTreatments:

Sodium chloride: Known Rock salt, which is the temperature of the low costs and efficiency in moderately cold. It 's easy, safe and requires no special handling and storage procedures. Sodium chloride is necessary to heat absorbed from the air and soil, to make the "solution, making it an effective means of freeze-thaw. A disadvantage of sodium chloride is due to come into direct contact with moistureto resolve it takes longer to be effective than other chemicals like calcium chloride and magnesium chloride. The minimum effective temperature is 15F.

calcium chloride, calcium chloride is probably the most commonly used second defrost. Is exothermic, ie heat is released as it dissolves, and therefore operates faster than sodium chloride. In addition, dissolved easily take place in direct contact with moisture to form calcium chloridedraws moisture from the air, then starts to work faster. E 'effective even at low temperatures (as low as-20F) and is relatively harmless to plants and soils. The disadvantage is that the calcium chloride for its ability to attract moisture from the air, which requires special procedures for storage to react before it can spread to prevent. Calcium chloride can also create wet and slippery sidewalks, if not used correctly.

MagnesiumChloride: This salt is exothermic, but has less heat capacity. It 's more efficient than sodium chloride, although not as effective as calcium chloride. It can be used at temperatures as low as 0F, and is less toxic to plants and less corrosive sodium chloride. But, as calcium chloride, which requires special methods of preservation because of its ability to attract moisture. This compound is used in its crystal form for companies and sidewalks, but a number of roadsDepartments have raised objections to their use of magnesium chloride as an antifreeze and antifreeze. The liquid mixture to spread on dry pavement before the first rain or freezing temperatures to prevent road wet from snow and ice from the intersection.

Potassium acetate, a biodegradable liquid deicer that the soil is less aggressive and less corrosive. E 'is therefore preferable for takeoff and landing strips, but is not often used in other markets due to its high cost.potassium acetate at temperatures up to 15F realization of this compound are applied at cooler temperatures.

Calcium magnesium acetate: salt Developed as an alternative environmentally friendly way, calcium and magnesium acetate is the safest chemical for concrete and vegetation, the water is about as corrosive as tap water. The cost is about 30 times more than rock salt. The actual melting temperature of 20F.

Potassium chlorideammonium sulfate and urea, is often used as a fertilizer, used these three chemicals sometimes used as a veil. All three are corrosive and have an effective temperature of 20F.
