Winter maintenance

Adverse winter weather can have a crippling effect on any transport infrastructure - highways, rail, maritime or aviation.  Detailed, accurate and timely forecast information can mitigate the effects of winter weather by enabling maintenance managers to target preventative operations to enable continuation of service.

MeteoGroup offer the world’s most comprehensive range of dedicated forecast solutions for winter maintenance operations.  With considerable experience of forecasting winter highways hazards, MeteoGroup is now established as the most accurate and innovative forecast supplier within the market.

More recently,  MeteoGroup has developed specific-winter forecasting models such as the overhead power line icing model, used by rail operators and energy distribution companies.  Staying within the rail sector, highly detailed forecasts of ice and frost formation on conductor rails (or ‘third’ rails) at strategic points around the network are now being delivered via a client-specific internet portal.  Similarly, forecasts and alerts are supplied for a range of applications within the aviation industry, from specific aircraft icing forecasts delivered via our dedicated AviaCast service, through to ice, snow and frost forecasts for runways and taxiways.

All of the MeteoGroup’s winter maintenance services are backed-up by full 24/7 support from our specialist meteorologists. Please contact us to find out more.
