Accu-Steel is looking forward to meeting more than 1,500 snowfighters from around the country at the American Public Works Association 2013 Snow Conference taking place in Charlotte, NC April 7-10.
Educational seminars will be offered each day of the show and will cover a wide range of topics including how to use social media in communicating emergency response, Tier 4 engine equipment compliance, and how to minimize environmental impacts of winter operations. The Winter Maintenance Supervisor Certificate Workshop will once again be offered, taking place Sunday, April 9, from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
The exhibit floor will include more than 120 companies sharing the latest products and technologies to help snowfighters prepare for and fight ice and snow in their communities.
A number of technical tours will be offered, including a tour of the state-of-the-art Charlotte Street Maintenance Facility. The tour will highlight the division’s snow-fighting equipment, 5,000-ton salt storage building, and its highly-effective salt brine manufacturing system, with 10,000 gallons of salt brine and 5,000-gallon calcium chloride storage capacity. Technicians from the City of Charlotte’s Fleet Management Division will be on hand to demonstrate the tools and equipment used to fight the snow and ice on more than 5,200 lane miles of city roadway.
Special events include a NASCAR Hall of Fame Reception Tuesday, April 9 at 6:30 p.m., and closing session presentation, Tuesday, April 9, provided by NASCAR legend, Jeff Hammond.
