Why Sweep?
The number one reason for sweeping is safety. Removing large deposits of sand or gravel allows for better contact to the surface for the tires beneath your vehicles. Have you ever tried emergency or rapidly stopping on a gravel road?
The result usually leads to skidding or stopping well after when you desire. Often a loss of control entirely. A road swept free of debris gives more surface area contact for the tire to stop you safely.
Protecting the environment is another concern and benefit. Have you ever stopped to wonder about where all of the debris from the curb lines end up after a rain? It washes right down our storm drains and in turn into our waterways and storm ponds.
This will build up and limit the flow through the underground network of sewer pipes. The costs of removing the buildup of sediment from the infrastructure and waterways could have been prevented by a simple road sweeping maintenance plan!
Lastly, clean roads and parking lots are aesthetically pleasing in our neighborhoods communities as a whole. We all appreciate clean. Swept lots and roadways will actually guilt the populace out of littering!
What machines do you run in your fleet?
Currently Prince Sweeping run Tennant and Elgin sweepers. Our sweepers are PM10 air quality industry and government compliant. The Tennant machines sweep by using skirting on the machines and vacuum assist to control dust particles. The Elgin machines use water and fine mist nozzles to control dust particles.
The Elgin Broom Badger / Odra MT4H is a top-of-the-line sweeper that can be used in the whole range of sweeping. It is currently being used in parking lot sweeping and on construction sites. It has a high-dump capability which can reduce trips to the landfill and hence increase productivity.
What does PM10 mean?
PM10 is the provincial standard of being air quality compliant to control dust particles up to 10 microns in size.
Who currently enlists your services?
Developers and homebuilders appreciate the need for a good impression of their subdivisions especially when they are still in the development process and trying to sell their vision. With a weekly sweeping programm you can maintain a safe, clean environment for current and potential homeowners. Sweeping reduces the costs associated with the cleaning and inspection of infrastructure. It also prevents the costly dredging of storm ponds and removal of silt buildup. The proper program can also avoid costly legal proceedings stemming from injury and damage claims.
We excel at preparing road surfaces for top coating. We will work through the night to have the surfaces prepared and ready to go preventing costly production time for your company! Line Painting? Surface preparation is our specialty!
We service parking lots of all sizes. Regular maintenance of your parking lot can save you money in the long run. Granular materials under tires remove parking lines and the top layer of asphalt over time. Sweeping will reduce these infrastructure maintenance costs as well as potential accident claims. It will also help meet the requirements for your storm water management rebates as well as keep your properties aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
