At Akademiska Hus, we work actively to ensure that our properties are safe and accessible during the winter months. In collaboration with our land contractor Peab, we are responsible for both snow removal and anti-slip control in the area.
This is how we work with snow removal:
- Snow removal is carried out early in the morning and must be finished no later than 07.00, provided that the snowfall has stopped no later than 04.00. If it snows later in the night or day, we make sure the snow removal is completed within four hours after the snowfall has stopped.
- In the event of a slip, we do our best to combat the area within four hours of the slip occurring.
- If it snows heavily during the day, we prioritize main entrances, driveways and parking areas so that you can move around safely.
- We clear snow when the snow depth reaches 3 cm for wet snow or 5 cm for dry snow, and ensure that a maximum of 1 cm of snow or ice remains afterwards.
- Entrances, stairs, ramps and other important surfaces are kept completely free of snow and ice.
- If necessary, we use manual shoveling for the surfaces that cannot be cleared of snow with machines.
Keep in mind that surfaces in the shade can be a little more difficult to combat slips, as the salt is not activated as effectively without sun and a lot of foot traffic. But we work continuously to keep all areas as safe as possible.
