| 摘要： | It all started in Telford during Cold Comfort 2008. Henk Landeweerd, who at the time was representing AEBI Schmidt, presented to the conference on the benefits of removing all snow from the carriageway when ploughing. He also informed delegates that failure to do so means you need to apply up to 120 grammes per square metre of salt to remove just a few millimetres of snow. Ploughing to black is a must. This concept was one that at the time the UK did not adopt. The fear of removal of road studs and ironworks was too great, so drivers were instructed to leave their cutting edges up to a centimetre or two off the surface to remove the risk of damage and wear. In addition, plough blade technology that can enable ploughing to black was yet to be introduced to the UK. That all changed during the winter of 2009-10. The country was hit with heavy snow during December, the worst conditions experienced for over a decade, with sub-zero daytime temperatures persisting for several weeks afterwards. Councils and operating companies were finding it almost impossible to keep their networks open as what were then current practices were not allowing them to remove all the snow from the surface. |
