Scope of Work
This project consists of the purchase and installation of 22 ’X 22’ of concrete surface course, reinforced 8” thick slab to install a 100 gallon liquid brine maker.
When getting rid of ice on roadways, among the more effective solutions used on these roadways is salt brine, which is a very basic mixture of 23 percent salt and 77 percent water. This mixture is typically applied twice to roadways 24 hours before the onset of a storm, which helps to make sure that any ice or snow that falls doesn’t stick to the roads. When salt brine is placed on the roadways before a storm, it becomes easier for ice and snow to be plowed from the roads once the storm is finished.
