When snow accumulates and needs to be removed regularly, safely moving and storing the snow can be challenging for maintenance managers. Whether increasing weight in a parking lot or limiting space in a parking lot, snow storage and removal requires conscious consideration, detailed planning, and efficient execution.
Once snow accumulates, how can maintenance managers efficiently move and manage the amount of snow for the remainder of the season?
Stay in stock
The first way to better manage snow and ice on your property is to have the appropriate equipment, tools and products. Prepare for snowfall and falling temperatures with shovels, machines and melting ice to shrink and move the snow. This also means you need to decide which areas are safe to move the snow so you have a plan for when it happens and can carry out safe snow storage. Be sure to choose an area away from traffic, driveways, and fire hydrants, and near drains when the water begins to thaw. Stay up to date on weather reports and have staff available when storms are expected to prevent them from increasing and leaving you scrambling for a solution.
Plan your batteries
If you're not careful, snow accumulations can increase significantly as the season progresses. Limiting the height of snow piles is one way to make them safer by allowing better visibility of traffic and limiting the risk of structural damage . Place the stakes in remote locations as much as possible and distribute the height and weight across multiple areas. Use salt or melted ice around the stakes to promote melting and drainage as the snow begins to melt.
By keeping stacks smaller, you also add to curb appeal, with neater presentation and noticeable attention to the exterior maintenance and appearance of your property.
Snow management is an important part of winter outdoor maintenance. Knowing how to move and store it will keep your property safe and looking its best during the winter.
