Liquids 101 told us why we might use liquids, Liquids 201 showed us how we could use them. In Liquids 301 we will help you to develop a detailed case expounding the benefits of using liquids in your winter maintenance operations. There are three main areas of benefits that agencies have found when they have made the use of liquids a central approach in their winter operations. First, they have found that their total use of materials, and in particular their use of salt, has been significantly reduced. This can be particularly beneficial when environmental concerns are high in a community. Second, using liquids provides significant cost savings, and we will detail those savings and show how they are achieved. In most cases the payback time (how long it takes for the savings to total more than the costs of implementing the new liquid usage) is less than two winter seasons. Third, experience has shown that use of liquids provides better safety and improved levels of service than more traditional approaches, of significant benefit to the communities that we serve.
