ICE PREVENTION
MANCHESTER
Manchester sits on the flat plain of the Irwell Valley with the Pennine hills rising to the north and east. The city centre can experience significant ice formation overnight and the surrounding commercial areas are exposed to cold northerly and easterly winds. Ice prevention is fundamentally different from reactive gritting. Rather than treating ice after it has formed, proactive ice prevention involves applying salt or treated salt to surfaces before temperatures drop to freezing — preventing ice from forming in the first place. For businesses in Manchester, this means safer surfaces, fewer incidents and lower liability exposure.
West Yorkshire Gritting Co provides commercial ice prevention services in Manchester using Met Office forecast data and road temperature sensors to deploy proactively. Manchester is the commercial capital of the North West with major business districts, the Trafford Park industrial estate, MediaCityUK, significant logistics operations and one of the UK's largest commercial property markets. We treat your site before conditions deteriorate — not after an incident has already occurred.
