  • Impressive heavy machinery is used every year to clear snow from the roads in Canada. Ultra high definition and 4K drone videos show the details of these large scale operations. Major snowfall accumulation constantly needs to be rid of in order for the population to remain on the move. Hats off to the people of this industry that work relentlessly operating powerful snowblowers, loaders, bulldozers and snowgraders in large convoys to create our path through winter.

      Most of the time it won't be gone year round. It rarely melt all away, snow are white and these snow are packed so they don't get in touch with air from outside.

    Montreal clears 10,000 km of roads of snow. If we get just 20cm of snow x by the road width of 15m that works out to 30 million cubic meters of snow.
    Compacted that is approx. 10 million cubic meter of snow that needs to be removed from the streets of Montreal and put somewhere.
    Note: Some years we have gotten 4m of snow.
    The city used to dump snow into the St. Laurence River but with the salt used on the roads stopped that practice and now dumps most of the snow in Miron quarry.

    That opening 20 seconds. I would love to see a time lapse shot of that pile being created ( tho there is nowhere to leave a camera ). I would assume they dump on the top blacktop area overnight to avoid using those dump ramps in the dark then blow the snow into the quarry with the blowers. Can't imagine how many thousands of truckloads that is.

    • @StuckAndStones
      @StuckAndStones Рік тому

      The trucks dumping at the ramps are trucks that get loaded by front loaders and could contain debris damaging the snowblower. The other place where it gets blown over into the quarry is snow that has already been blown by another snowblower to fill the truck and is then debris-free

      However if they didn't do it, the entire city would grind to a half for three or four months of the year. So, there's that? Just imagine the unbelievable cost of losing your city for a third of the year? Now tell me it's a dumb idea to keep the streets clear of snow?
      You'd be ok with no food deliveries, no school buses, no public transport, no Police department, Fire department or Ambulance services, no commuters so no jobs, so no tax revenue, therefore no economy to speak of........... see how the modern world works?
