EQUIPMENT IN SCANDINAVIAN COUNTRIES

Several Scandinavian countries have been experimenting with new and highly promising techniques and systems which have lead to substantial savings in de-icing chemicals without sacrificing the level of roadway service during the winter. Some of these techniques required the development and utilization of equipment such as brine making plants, spreaders for applying liquid salt and prewetted salt, and snow and slush plows. The equipment is summarized in this report.
