Safety First: Best Practices in Snow Removal

Winter in Alberta is a breathtaking season, blanketing the region with shimmering snow. However, for businesses across Edmonton, Calgary, and surrounding areas, it also presents unique challenges. Effective and safe snow removal not only maintains accessibility but also ensures the safety of clients, employees, and pedestrians. At JVR Construction & Consulting, we prioritize safety in all our commercial snow removal services. Here, we share best practices for keeping your property safe and accessible during the harsh winter months.


Understanding Alberta’s Unique Climate


Alberta’s winters are notorious for heavy snowfall and icy conditions. Property owners in locales such as Sherwood Park, Fort McMurray, and St. Albert face specific challenges due to fluctuating temperatures and sudden snowstorms. Incorporating these local weather patterns into your snow management plan is essential. JVR Construction & Consulting harnesses valuable local experience, offering customized solutions tailored to these conditions.

Collaborating with JVR Construction & Consulting early on ensures your snow removal needs are scheduled and prioritized.

At JVR, we strictly adhere to industry safety standards, ensuring all aspects of snow removal are approached with caution and professionalism. With liability coverage up to 5 million, clients across Redwater, Devon, and Beaumont can have peace of mind knowing their properties are in safe hands.

When it comes to paving in Alberta, choosing the right asphalt is crucial for ensuring long-lasting, durable surfaces that can withstand the region's unique climate. At JVR Construction & Consulting, we understand the importance of selecting materials that not only meet but exceed the demands of Alberta's weather conditions. Whether you're in Edmonton, Calgary, or Fort McMurray, understanding how the local climate affects asphalt can guide you in making the right choice for your commercial or municipal paving needs. Understanding Alberta’s Climate Challenges Alberta's climate is characterized by cold winters and warm summers, with significant temperature fluctuations that can affect the integrity of asphalt surfaces . Freeze-thaw cycles are particularly challenging, as they can lead to cracking and deterioration over time. For businesses and municipalities planning paving projects, understanding these climate impacts is essential. Why Asphalt Quality Matters Choosing high-quality asphalt is imperative for durability. Inferior materials may initially seem cost-effective but can lead to frequent repairs and higher maintenance expenses. At JVR Construction & Consulting, we prioritize the use of top-tier materials in our commercial and municipal paving services, ensuring surfaces are built to last despite the challenges of Alberta’s climate. Types of Asphalt Suited for Alberta Cold Mix Asphalt Cold mix asphalt, designed to be used in temperatures that other types cannot withstand, is particularly useful during Alberta's colder months for temporary patching. This type of asphalt remains pliable, allowing for easy repairs even during winter. Hot Mix Asphalt Preferred for major projects, hot mix asphalt is durable and suitable for the main paving season, which runs from late spring through early fall. Its strength and resilience make it well-suited for high-traffic commercial areas like parking lots and roadways in cities such as Edmonton and Calgary. Warm Mix Asphalt This variant offers a blend of the benefits of both hot and cold mix asphalts. Produced at lower temperatures, warm mix asphalt reduces emissions and energy usage, making it an environmentally friendly option that still provides excellent performance across Alberta’s diverse climate conditions. Benefits of Professional Installation Professional installation ensures that your asphalt surface will stand the test of time. At JVR Construction & Consulting, our extensive experience with municipal and commercial paving projects across Alberta guarantees a precise and efficient process. Our team tailors each project to the unique climate needs, utilizing advanced techniques to prevent common issues like cracking and pothole formation. Regular Maintenance is Key Even the best asphalt needs regular maintenance to maximize its lifespan. Implementing a routine maintenance schedule that includes sealcoating, crack sealing, and regular inspections can help address small issues before they become major problems. At JVR Construction & Consulting, we offer comprehensive maintenance services in Edmonton and surrounding areas to keep your asphalt surfaces in top condition year-round.
