our decision making process
At our company, we make careful decisions to ensure effective gritting and snow clearing. We closely monitor weather forecasts and road surface temperatures in your area. When temperatures drop below zero, we promptly spread grit and salt to keep roads safe.
Weather Predicting
Using an elaborate weather forecast, we monitor road surface temperatures closely in your area. If this falls below zero, then we will arrange to spread grit and salt.
All Basis Covered
Fitted on our gritters are PDAs and GPS trackers which provide us with a timestamp and date while on site.
Information concerning the site's access, weather and ground conditions are recorded upon arrival; if any area is not gritted (for instance, parked vehicles in the way), data is also recorded.
Constant Communication
In the afternoon, generally around 4PM, we send an email notifying you that gritting will be carried out that night. Snow clearing is usually done early in the morning before your indicated time and overnight.
