Snow clearance: preparing flat roofs for the future
As a rule, expected snow depths are taken into account in the design of roofs and flat roofs. However, due to climate change, there have been repeated instances of snowfall at unexpected times and in unexpected quantities in the recent past. Modern structures, such as photovoltaic systems, have further reduced the load-bearing capacity of many roofs. The result: Many existing buildings are now undersized for the snow loads expected in the future. To prevent serious accidents caused by collapsing roofs, reliable snow management is urgently required on all roof surfaces. We create a snow management concept for your flat roof so that you can get through the winter safely. If necessary, we can also carry out safe snow removal from your flat roof for you!
Accident prevention through snow load calculation: knowing what matters
To prevent serious accidents caused by collapsing roofs in the long term, reliable snow management on roof surfaces is essential. Our snow management is based on a thorough identification of potential hazards and an assessment of the corresponding consequences. On this basis, we plan the necessary capacities for carrying out snow clearance on your flat roof. We implement the necessary measures for you as part of a snow clearance concept and carry out the snow clearance reliably and professionally, ensuring the safety and health of all persons involved.
State-of-the-art sensor technology for controlled snow removal on flat roofs
We leave nothing to chance when it comes to snow removal on your flat roof: with the help of our snow and waterlogging alarm system, we determine the snow load on your building in real time. In an emergency, an alarm is automatically triggered before a risk arises. For example, a pre-alarm can be triggered when the snow load reaches 60% of the maximum roof load, and an evacuation alarm can be triggered when it reaches 90% of the maximum roof load. The form of the alarm can be freely selected: from visual/acoustic alarms to SMS messages sent to the responsible person to connection to your smart home technology, everything is possible. Thanks to precise knowledge of the current roof load, snow clearance can be planned accurately as soon as it is actually necessary. With our system, roof safety and cost-effectiveness go hand in hand.
