several benefits of a sound anti-icing strategy:
- by preventing snow or ice from bonding to pavement, removal and control is much easier
- material is applied ahead of the storm, making it safer for equipment and operators
- lower material application rates compared to de-icing operations
- the need for sand or other abrasives is reduced
- cleanup of sand or other abrasives is reduced
- reduced environmental impact.
