Event Description/Abstract
INDOT has successfully used salt brine in antiicing efforts as a way to deliver preventative treatment before an event (e.g., bridge deck frost) occurs. In 2011 INDOT investigated the use of salt brine in de-icing operations. This study executed a comparative analysis of brine routes and salt routes during two winter seasons (2011–2012 and 2012–2013). Another study item designed and fabricated a combination winter vehicle and analyzed its performance. This presentation will discuss the study findings and conclusions and how they apply to your winter operations.
