Salt Spreading.
Professional winter-treatment support for pedestrian areas, access roads, car parks and commercial premises, available on a call-out or preventative basis.
Reduce the Risk of Ice-Related Incidents.
Ice on pathways, steps, roads and car parks creates an obvious risk to pedestrians and vehicles during cold weather.
AFP's Salt Spreading service is designed to help businesses keep pedestrian areas and access routes safer for employees, visitors and customers.
Reactive or Preventative Cover.
AFP can provide salt spreading when icy conditions occur or treat areas in advance where cold conditions are expected.
Call-Out Salt Spreading
Salt spreading provided on a call-out basis where icy surfaces have formed or treatment is required.
Preventative Treatment
Salt can be spread in advance of icy surfaces forming on paths, car parks and access areas.
Mechanical Spreading
Mechanical spreading for larger areas where efficient coverage is required.
Manual Spreading
Manual treatment for smaller areas and locations that are more difficult for machinery to access.
Treat Surfaces Before Ice Forms.
Preventative spreading allows paths, car parks and access areas to be treated in advance rather than waiting until ice has already formed.
This can be incorporated into a wider winter maintenance plan for commercial premises and managed sites.
Large Areas to Difficult Access.
Not every site can be treated in the same way. AFP's established service includes both mechanical spreading and manual treatment.
This allows larger open areas and smaller confined locations to be covered within the same winter maintenance requirement.
Large Areas
Mechanical spreading where broad, efficient coverage is required.
Small Areas
Manual spreading for smaller pedestrian spaces and localised treatment.
Difficult Access
Manual treatment where larger equipment cannot easily gain access.
Mixed Sites
Combine mechanical and manual treatment around the layout of the premises.
Prepare the Site Before Winter Arrives.
AFP's previous winter-maintenance material highlighted the importance of preparing road and site maintenance arrangements before severe conditions arrive.
The company also described maintaining and testing its spreading equipment prior to the winter season and keeping salt and grit stocks available for its winter operations.
Local Winter Maintenance Coverage.
AFP's established Salt Spreading service covers Renfrewshire, Inverclyde, Ayrshire, Dunbartonshire and Glasgow.
Salt Spreading as Part of a Wider Service.
Salt spreading can sit alongside AFP's wider grounds-maintenance and site-management capability where a customer needs broader support across the estate.
Winter Treatment
Call-out or preventative salt spreading around commercial premises.
Grounds Maintenance
Wider estate and site-maintenance programmes throughout the year.
Site Access
Treatment of paths, car parks and access routes around operational premises.
Flexible Deployment
Mechanical and manual treatment selected around the site layout.
Discuss Salt Spreading with AFP.
Tell AFP about the site, areas requiring treatment and whether you need preventative cover, call-out support or a combination of both.
