What time will Big Bend cold-storage yards be cleared in the morning?

PlowWow's Big Bend seasonal contracts specify pre-shift finish times in writing — typically 4:30 a.m. on cold-storage operations and 5:30 a.m. on standard warehousing. Crews are pre-staged and dispatched on forecast, not on observed accumulation.

Are dock plates and dock aprons part of the base scope?

Yes. Dock plates, dock aprons and container-turn radii are in scope on every Big Bend industrial contract. These are the surfaces where reefer refusal-to-unload and workplace slip incidents actually happen, so treating them as extras would defeat the purpose of the contract.

Do you maintain fire lane and hydrant access during snow events?

Yes. Fire lane and hydrant access is maintained every event. Loss of fire lane access on an industrial site is a Fire Code violation and a WorkSafeBC exposure — it isn't optional.

What de-icer product do you use in industrial yards?

A disclosed chloride blend sized to the surface — magnesium chloride and CMA on pedestrian paths and building entrances, standard rock salt or a treated chloride blend on drive aisles and yards where pedestrian exposure is controlled. Application rate is logged per visit.

What documentation do you deliver for insurance and safety audits?

Per-visit GPS breadcrumbs, timestamped photos of key surfaces, product and rate, technician on site and time, weekly summaries, and an end-of-season package designed to satisfy CGL renewal requirements, CAM reconciliation, and internal WorkSafeBC / safety audits.

Do you clear the Fraser Foreshore Park trail frontage adjacent to my site?

Where the trail frontage is on the property's clearing perimeter under bylaw, yes — it's part of the base scope. Public trails through and adjacent to industrial frontages carry both bylaw and public-safety exposure, and treating them as extras isn't defensible.

When should a Big Bend operator sign for the coming winter?

By early October. Industrial capacity in Big Bend is smaller than in strata-heavy neighbourhoods, and pre-shift finish-time commitments require pre-staged equipment. Late signers are competing for whatever crew capacity is left.
