Are your Roads Prepared for Winter?

As winter approaches local authorities, road management companies and private land owners are preparing for the impact that the weather has on roads throughout the country.

Whether it’s heavy rain, flooding, ice, snow or high winds all of these need to be mitigated against to ensure traffic continues to flow.

Winter road maintenance plans must be prepared weeks if not months in advance and contingencies put in place for urgent road repairs or reinstatement, a healthy supply of salt stockpiled and fleets of vehicles kept well maintained for the harsh winter conditions.

Among our many specialities here at AFP is minor road repairs and reinstatement in emergency situations.

We also provide salt spreading services on a call out or preventative basis. Our fleet of spreaders undergo rigorous maintenance and testing prior to the busy winter season and we always ensure there’s an adequate stock of salt/grit should national supplies run low.

So if you are planning your roads’ winter maintenance schedule including regular and standby operations contact AFP to see how we can help you plan your road maintenance for winter.
