Each contract is designed with the specific client in mind - one size does not fit all.

The system then tracks operatives through their PDAs, to gauge whether service delivery has taken place.
The company is available 24/7, and De-Ice prides itself on a ‘right first time policy.’ The service window is short and customers need to guarantee their site(s) have been gritted to the highest standards - during treacherous conditions.
With over 16 years’ experience in providing winter maintenance solutions, De-ice uses the latest gritting equipment, expertly trained operatives and highly accurate weather forecasting to ensure that clients’ sites are kept safe, operational and free from snow and ice.
WINTER MAINTENANCE GRITIT
GRITIT provides protection for clients against the financial and physical risks of adverse weather.
The company’s flagship NIMBUS technology monitors detailed weather files from an expert provider against live tracking vehicles and teams, and verifies service by cross referencing the report and location data from each driver’s PDA, to ensure they are on the correct site at the correct time. This ensures customer requirement is met, and generates an audit trail to prove that firms have carried out the necessary steps to protect staff and businesses from the negative impacts of winter weather.
The fully-automated management system has the flexibility to provide bespoke solutions on, for example, unmanned sites where a leak or burst pipes can pose an unexpected risk. As well as allowing businesses to continue running in the worst winter conditions, the technology means that FMs have a robust scientific and systematic winter risk management system in place, rather than one based on ad hoc decision, and evidence to back up claims that they have met their Duty of Care. This is particularly useful in terms of winter- related injuries, where it can provide vital evidence in a court of law for clients whose employees may have had an accident onsite.
In November 2015, GRITIT produced the Good Practice Guide to Winter Maintenance with the BIFM to provide FM professionals with practical advice and guidance to support them in developing better working practices around winter maintenance.
