The first snow and ice in Ukraine: from the night before, the maintenance service “Automagistral-South” has been actively working on the roads of Lviv Oblast, Kyiv Oblast, Chernihiv Oblast, Sumy Oblast, Kharkiv Oblast and Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.
Not only the equipment works, the workers manually process the above-ground pedestrian crossings, public transport stops, and sidewalks with anti-icing materials. 537 tons of sand-salt mixture and 37 tons of salt were used per day!
We prepared in advance for the arrival of winter: warning signs were installed for drivers, local reserves of sand and salt mixture were created in dangerous areas with difficult terrain. Snow nets and shields are installed to prevent snow drifts.
Supplies from SE “Artemsil” have been stopped, but in the near future, thanks to the diversification of supplies, our operating bases will be 100% supplied with the necessary reagents. In the arsenal of operators there are 262 combined road vehicles, 135 units of other special equipment – loaders, screw-rotary snow removal machines, motor graders, dump tractors, technical vehicles, etc. 700-800 employees are involved in winter maintenance.
