NJ LTAP Presents: Winter Operations/Snow and Ice Control

It’s not too soon to think about how you will tackle the snow and ice challenges of the 2013-2014 winter season. Managing winter operations and snow and ice control requires that those involved have a broad and diverse knowledge base. The ability to plan and prepare, train available staff and to make quick critical decisions are requirements of a successful manager/supervisor involved in these activities. This presentation will focus on the following:
  • Planning and developing policy for winter operations
  • Snow and ice control chemicals and materials
      • Applying the right materials at the right time and right place
      • Environmental impacts
  • Equipment needs
  • Weather and pavement forecasting services
