We tend to notice potholes more in winter as our freezing night-time temperatures combined with warmer daytime conditions encourage potholes to form.

OUTCO has been providing winter gritting and snow-clearing services to much of the UK’s critical infrastructure and service providers, ensuring people are kept safe and sites operational.

Potholes are a common occurrence on roads, car parks and footpaths, and they can cause a variety of problems for drivers and pedestrians. A permanent pothole repair is most likely the best way to ensure road and car park safety.

What do looking after our health and looking after roads, car parks and walkways have in common? Answer: they both rely on salt to keep them in top condition – especially during the winter season.

Delivering precision winter gritting and snow clearance isn’t a dark art – it’s based on careful planning, weather data and detailed processes.

Reliability is the number one requirement for winter gritting and snow clearance service providers, especially during prolonged spells of freezing temperatures.

It’s easy to come to this conclusion, especially as more potholes appear during winter which is also when gritting predominately takes place.

First impressions count. Winter gritting is essential and more important to a business than most would initially think.
