Keep Critical Areas Clear

addition so in this case on this lap what we're going to be doing is literally grabbing the snow from the furthest points and moving it and all the way across the lot now here's a couple of the big things that I want to draw attention to storm sewer inlets you may have a storm sewer Inlet in the middle of the parking lot you more likely will have a storm sewer Inlet along the curb lines and potentially one along the sidewalk those storm sewer inlets need to remain clear at all times it's storm sewer inlets and handicapped spaces are always a priority in a parking lot they create both of those things to serve very specific functions and it's not to stockpile snow the reason you don't want to cover up a storm sewer inlet is simple when you bunch snow over the top of a storm sewer inlet during the freeze-thaw cycle in the spring the water can't run down to the storm sewer inlet and escape instead what will happen is that will back up and create an ice sheet over the entire parking lot but when you keep the storm sewer inlets clear that allows the water to run down and the snow to actually melt faster creating a safer parking lot so once we have cleared around the islands and the obstructions from the furthest point away from our push pile we're gonna go back and start our main run now in this case we'd back drag the snow into the plow zone and then now we're picking it up the pushpot that way we only cover a one single area one time [Music] so there's little things like that another big giant no-no when you're snow plowing is dribbles you never dribble you never leave any snow behind and what I'm actually talking about is as you're pushing snow you're gonna notice that you get just a little tiny bit left and then you're gonna be tempted to move over a space and keep plowing and move over a space and keep plowing and just forget about that dribble that so you may have this happen you may get your area all cleaned up and then the city comes through and leaves a nice big wind row right at the end of your driveway don't get discouraged just get used to it it happens and it is our job to come back and get that cleaned up if you're still on the site when the city plow truck leaves that wind row behind that's on you that's our job to get that cleared first and foremost you go ahead and leave I think somebody else is gonna clean that up or these people are gonna clean that up you know before they reach for a shovel you know what they're gonna do they're gonna reach…
