Commercial winter surface management
Parkade Ramp Ice Management
Parkade ramps can remain colder than nearby pavement and may collect tracked moisture. Material compatibility, drainage, traction and transition zones all matter on a confined slope.
What a service plan can include
- Upper and lower ramp transition zones
- Shaded and wind-exposed approaches
- Drainage and tracked-water review
- Return inspection after changing temperatures

Why does a ramp refreeze first?
Shade, elevation, wind exposure, drainage and thermal mass can keep a ramp colder than surrounding pavement.
Can every de-icer be used on a parkade?
No. Surface and structural compatibility should be confirmed with property requirements and product documentation.
Does treatment guarantee traction?
No treatment eliminates risk. Inspection, mechanical clearing, material choice and temporary access controls may all be required.
