Property Manager, Mixed-UseFAQ
Do you pretreat before freezing rain? Yes, brine pretreatments go down when dew points and temps show refreeze risk.
Can you haul snow off-site? We plan stack zones and haul when piles threaten visibility or parking.
How fast is dispatch? Crews are staged inside Ely, Minnesota; alerts trigger deployment within minutes.
Deep-dive on keeping Ely, Minnesota city sites open
Your property maps include photos of hazards, drainage, and sensitive finishes, giving crews exact guidance when storms hit.
Calibration charts in every truck keep spread rates consistent, protecting assets while hitting friction targets.
Radar, pavement sensors, and on-the-ground observations combine so we pivot from plowing to melting at the right moment.
If security spots a slick patch, they message our hotline and the nearest crew pivots for a fast correction.
Medical sites get redundancy with shadow crews during critical appointment blocks to protect patient access.
Parking and sight lines remain strong because we pre-plan pile zones away from hydrants, cameras, and signage; if capacity shrinks, we schedule off-peak hauling.
When temperatures crash, we layer treatments to stop refreeze without over-applying, guarding concrete and landscaping.
Seasonal clients receive mid-winter audits to tweak melt recipes, pile plans, and signage placement.
Support trucks carry spare edges, belts, and hydraulic fluid so mechanical hiccups never stall a route.
Documentation closes every loop: timestamps, route logs, treatment volumes, and photo evidence are packaged for risk, facilities, and legal stakeholders.
