Snow Removal
Winter Storm Jonas - Deadly Storm
According to the Weather channel, Winter Storm Jonas dumped up to 42 inches of snow in some locations and caused 37 deaths, including 11 deaths from cardiovascular events triggered by snow shoveling.
The Right Stuff
Smith Excavating is proud to be part of the team that helped keep our community going during snow, sleet and icy conditions. Work started last Thursday at 1 AM and continued non-stop for 42 hours. Our crew of 16 included equipment operators and grounds-men. For grounds-men working on critical walkways amid the rapidly falling snow, finishing up a 100 foot run meant sometimes turning around and clearing the same 100 feet of walkway all over again.
Sidewalks required the use of skid-steers with rubber tires, walkways required the use of specially constructed snow removal tools with rubber edges to protected marble, granite and other decorative walkway surfaces. Our team uses a buddy system for safety as crews move about from location to location.
Leadership, Teamwork, excellent communication, well maintained equipment, warm weather clothing, reflective vests and safety shoes are the right stuff to keep everyone safe in dangerous conditions. Like they say “It’s all in a days work!.”
