Even in winter, the path from car park to stairwell must be safe
During the winter season, vehicles driving over snow-covered roads automatically pick up remnants of snow and ice on the vehicle. If the destination is then, for example, a multi-storey car park, this unwanted and clinging freight is automatically brought onto the respective property.
Winter maintenance service inside car parks
Even slight temperature fluctuations are enough for the unwanted cargo to detach from the vehicle inside the car park and fall onto the pavement.
When driving over these remnants, a new layer of ice is created by compression, which immediately becomes a potential source of danger.
It is hard to believe, but every year and all over the country accidents occur in car parks due to ice and snow. It is therefore important that pedestrians also always tread carefully within a multi-storey car park in winter. Responsible car park operators use either their own or external winter services during the winter months to protect their guests. As far as possible, any sources of danger are identified early on and then safely gritted with high-yield CN Winter Grit.
Growing environmental awareness and easing the burden on sewerage systems
To achieve this goal, many car park operators and their professional winter services have been using our CN Winter Grit product for years. It is not as hard as alternative gritting granules, because it is made of 2 - 4 mm crushed Leca® expanded clay. The advantages of this environmentally friendly, modern, salt-free, temperature-independent and 100% natural winter grit are obvious. It also protects animal paws and cannot cause corrosion damage.
Environmental awareness is growing steadily among our population, and rightly so. Winter services can play their part by choosing the right gritting granulate. In car parks, CN Winter Grit does not burden either the drainage systems or the connected sewerage system
Thanks to its low density of only approx. 260 kg/m³, it is around four times lighter than water, so it floats on top and is simply discharged with the water in the system.
Therefore, the system cannot be burdened by sedimentation, i.e., deposits. The situation is different, however, with heavy gritting granulates, which are deposited in the system accordingly and accumulate continuously. Over time, the sewer system becomes clogged and water damage can occur.
We wish you a good, safe and healthy winter.
Our tip: As a responsible and professional winter service provider, use CN Winter Grit and protect yourself, others and not least the environment from icy surfaces.
