Apply De-icing Agents

What happens here

After significant plowing has been completed, or in conjunction with plowing, apply a de-icing agent to the cleared surfaces. Load the salt/sand spreader with your chosen de-icer (e.g., rock salt, treated salt, sand/salt mix). Adjust the spreader's flow rate and spread pattern according to the current temperature, expected conditions, and type of de-icer. Drive the truck with the spreader over the plowed areas, ensuring even coverage. The goal is to melt any remaining thin layers of snow or ice and prevent refreezing, providing traction and safety. Make sure to cover drive lanes, walkways, and high-traffic areas thoroughly.

Goal: Prevent ice formation and improve traction on cleared surfaces.
