The company developed a system in which disabled drivers’ vehicles will have an electronic tag that is detected in handicapped parking spots when a vehicle pulls in. If a vehicle doesn’t have the tag that sensors the handicapped parking spots parking enforcement personnel will be notified.

The system has not yet been used by any clients, but CPT reports the technology is ready to go and could be in use early this year.

It’s important that facility managers understand the difference between anti-icing and deicing in order to efficiently deal with the ice.

Deicing is the reactive application of industrial snow melter.  It eliminates existing snow and ice on driving or walking surfaces. Deicing after snow removal can melt any remaining snow and ice too.

Anti-icing refers to the proactive application of industrial snow melter to driving or walking surfaces before a storm. It helps prevent snow and ice from bonding to the pavement and can easily be cleared. If used effectively, anti-icing can create the safest conditions in the winter and is cost-effective alternative to deicing.

Industrial snow melter products:

• Sand
• Salt
• Sand-salt mix
• Calcium Chloride
• Magnesium Chloride

• Lower operational costs
• Increased employee retention and satisfaction

Traditionally concrete bollards have been painted to keep them looking nice. But there are a few reasons why this method is not ideal:

• Painting the bollards needs to be done on a regular basis.
• Paint does not protect the bollards from the elements.
• Paint does not protect vehicles, doors, etc. from the abrasive nature of the bollard.
• Paint does not help when the concrete starts to fail. It is difficult to keep reflective tape on a painted bollard.
• It is difficult to customize a painted bollard.
• Painting bollards is a messy job.

• On average in 2009, a pedestrian was killed every two hours and inured every nine minutes in traffic crashes.
• Hybrid vehicles were found to be twice as likely to be involved in pedestrian crashes at low speeds compared to cars with conventional engines.
• One in 6 drivers traveling through an active school zone is distracted by the use of cell phones, electronics, eating/drinking.

It is becoming more common for roofing professionals to offer snow removal, ice removal and weight load checks.

Some contractors even offer seasonal services, which entitles a crew to immediately come out to remove snow when it reaches a certain depth on the roof.

This is a cost effective and preventive measure to protect a building. Paying to have snow removed from roof tops definitely beats paying to replace a whole roof.
