Winter maintenance services commence at technical facilities in Solingen on November 20.
The Technical Operations of Solingen (TBS) have commenced their winter service operations, ready to maintain safe streets and paths throughout the city during the upcoming winter season.
In preparation for the colder months, the TBS has mobilised up to 130 manual cleaning forces from various areas, along with 16 spreading and clearing vehicles of different classes. These vehicles, specifically equipped for winter service, include salt spreaders, gritters, snowplows, and support trucks.
The TBS is keen to avoid any additional financial burdens for the population of Klingenstadt, opting to utilise their internal resources for winter service. To this end, they have a stockpile of 1,400 tons of de-icing salt at their disposal, ready to be used for ice prevention on roads and sidewalks.
The TBS prioritises main traffic routes and public transport during winter service, ensuring that essential travel remains uninterrupted. The winter weather forecast for the coming days has prompted the early start of winter service by the TBS, demonstrating their commitment to keeping the city moving.
It's worth noting that the employees performing the winter service are those who are in other functions throughout the year. The TBS uses most of their vehicles and equipment carriers from their active inventory for winter service, demonstrating their dedication to using their resources efficiently.
While specific details about the TBS's winter service plan for the 2020-2021 season are not readily available, typical winter service plans for municipal technical operations include a sufficient salt reserve for the entire winter season, a fleet of vehicles for ice prevention and snow clearance, and a priority focus on main roads, public transport, emergency routes, steep streets, pedestrian paths, and critical infrastructure zones.
For precise data on the 2020-2021 winter service plan for Solingen, or their salt reserves and vehicle inventory, it would be necessary to contact the Solingen municipal technical department (Technische Betriebe Solingen) or consult their official publications or local government archives.
As the winter weather approaches, the TBS stands ready to ensure the safety and accessibility of Solingen's streets and paths, keeping the city moving despite the cold.
