I want to discuss an alert can I phone you?
Yes you can call us on our main contact number 24/7 throughout winter.
Do you send out a summary/alert every day?
No, we will only send out an alert if we think gritting is required or when the RST is forecasted to reach a pre-agreed temperature.
Do you send out an alert if there is a change in the forecast?
Yes, we monitor the forecast 24/7 and albiet unusual we will send out alerts if there is a change which requires a different action. A good example of this is if perhaps cloud cover has remained longer than forecasted and RSTs have not dropped so low.
What do our customers receive
Each customer is different and solutions are tailored to your organisations needs but at basic level we provide you with alerts through either text, whatsapp or email when pre-agreed conditions dictate that prevention measures should be used.
These are provided 24 hours prior to any risk with a pre-warning alert 48 hours prior.
We partner with renowned forecasting company Vaisala which gives us access to the latest forecasting technology 24/7.
Weather sensor technology
Through our forecasting program you can ensure the ultimate protection for your premises with a on site weather sensor.
These measure road surface temperature, dew point temperature and air temperature and feed the information back into our forecasting system from where it is monitored. This information is then utilised by the system to provide more accurate forecasts about your local area as well as providing real time alerts should a pre-agreed temperature be met.
For large premises we find the original cost of the sensor is soon saved in reduced gritting runs due to the improved accuracy of the forecasts.
