Winter Service
Every facility faces unique challenges during the winter months, from protecting infrastructure to ensuring safe access routes. At First Facility, winter service is a carefully planned strategy involving preventive measures, rapid response, and continuous availability to ensure uninterrupted, safe operations in full compliance with regulations. It goes beyond merely reacting to snow or ice.
Our winter service includes round-the-clock standby, clear procedures, and experienced personnel who respond quickly and adapt to weather conditions, ensuring that facility users can carry on their activities without disruption.
What Does Winter Service Include?
Snow removal from access areas: We clear snow regularly and as needed from sidewalks, parking lots, access roads, ramps, and stairs—using manual and mechanical methods tailored to the terrain.
Application of anti-slip materials: Following a priority plan and in consultation with the owner, we apply sand, industrial salt, or environmentally friendly alternatives both preventively and reactively to prevent ice formation and slipping hazards.
Removal of icicles and roof snow: We safely remove snow, ice, and icicles from roofs, canopies, and gutters, following all safety protocols and employing qualified professionals.
Drainage inspection and maintenance: To prevent melted snow accumulation, ice formation, and potential damage to the building’s foundation or facade, we regularly inspect and maintain drainage systems.
Continuous readiness and monitoring: Our teams remain on call 24/7 throughout winter, monitoring real-time weather forecasts and deploying according to established standards and response times.
How Do We Organize Winter Service?
Before winter begins, we prepare a detailed operational plan covering routes, priorities, snow disposal locations, and materials required.
Equipment and workforce availability: Skilled teams and carefully planned shifts ensure all necessary machinery, tools, and materials are on site or nearby.
Documentation and reporting: Every intervention is logged, including departure time, areas serviced, and materials used. Facility owners receive regular reports and photographic evidence of the work performed.
Compliance with local regulations: To protect owners from liabilities, we strictly adhere to all municipal and city regulations concerning snow and ice removal.
Safety and Continuity First
Snow removal is just one part of winter maintenance; it’s an essential element of a broader system designed to safeguard the facility’s reputation and operational continuity. Because field conditions can change rapidly, a well-organized response system is the only way to guarantee a safe environment for users, visitors, and staff.
With First Facility, even the busiest winter days won’t interrupt your operations—no delays, no surprises, just smooth and safe facility management.
