What to expect from our winter service

Clearing and removing snow, gritting icy roads, guaranteeing the overall safety of the premises: the scope of winter services is varied. Assistance is available from professionals like Piepenbrock. We provide all the main services and additional options for snow clearing and gritting. Ensuring the safety of roads, walkways and parking facilities. Naturally in accordance with local by-laws:

Removal of road grit
You need to be looking at black asphalt, not white snow? We'll take care of it. Grit, granulate and sand prevent any risk of slipping. And what happens to these materials once winter has arrived? We dispose of them professionally. To protect the environment.

Removal of road grit and ice
Black asphalt instead of white snow? Not a problem. We'll remove the ice and snow until the roads are back to black again. A key ingredient here: the right grit. Prohibited and inappropriate substances? Not with us! We have the alternatives to ensure the snow and ice melt right away. You can be sure of it.

Removing snow
Where to with the snow that has been cleared away? Not enough space on the premises? Our Piepenbrock employees will remove the snow or store it at another location. Not a difficult job with our wheel- and low-loaders. The how and where will be planned beforehand together with you. So, should the situation arise, it's crystal clear where the snow is headed. A time-saver!

Snow-clearing and road-gritting by day or night
There is legislation in place for the provision of winter services: the obligation to clear snow, the obligation to grit surfaces and the duty of care. You need to ensure your public areas are safe for others to use. In other words, snow and ice must be cleared, roads and walkways gritted. When? This is set out by the local by-laws. However, bear in mind: special rules apply. For example, the local by-laws may state that the outdoor area of business premises and shops must be kept safe until 8 pm. However, if you operate a retail business that is open until 10 pm, you must ensure that the roads and walkways are safe until the shop has closed. Sounds complicated? Not with us at your side. We'll clarify all your organisational, administrative and commercial queries. There'll certainly be no questions raised concerning your compliance with safety regulations and the clearance of snow in the winter.

Measurements taken, data collected, plans drawn up for clearance and gritting
You need assistance with your winter services? Talk to us. We just need a few details:

  • How much space are we talking about?
  • Is your premises at ground level or does it also have stairs?
  • Do you have sketches, room plans and surface dimensions for your business premises?

Using this information, together we can create a concept tailored to your requirements. We'll also document the assumption of liability, along with everything else – all legal and transparent.

Delivery, filling and cleaning of grit containers
Stocking up is never a bad idea. If snow unexpectedly appears, you'll be happy to have enough salt, grit, sand or granulate ready for use. We can deliver the grit – in appropriate boxes if preferred. And once the winter is over, we'll check, maintain and clean the containers. Leaving you ready for the spring – and the next winter.

You have the choice

There are various road-gritting materials to choose from, all substrates used to prevent icy conditions on the roads. So now you're asking yourself, what is the best choice for my premises? We can tell you! We'll explain the difference between thawing and tractive grit. In other words, whether the material will melt the ice or make it easier for you to grip. And we'll recommend the right material for your requirements. No danger of slipping – you, your employees and customers stay safe.
