Not all chemical storage is “as pure as the driven snow.” While ski resorts might seem pristine in nature with their well-manicured trails in a perpetual winter wonderland, these artificial environments require a huge chemical payload to keep the lifts running year round. Ski resorts rely on artificial snowmaking machines and groomers that require cleaners, fuels, and solvents for operation and routine maintenance. And given the proximity of ski slopes to nature, vigilant oversight is necessary in preventing these toxic chemicals from contaminating the adjacent ‘Great Outdoors.’ Ancillary operations, like resorts and lodgings must also keep bulk industrial cleaners at their disposal to ensure sanitary conditions for guests. The ongoing COVID pandemic has further driven home the importance of health and safety at any public venue. U.S. Hazmat Rentals fire-rated chemical storage lockers can ensure pollution prevention at ski resorts and recreational parks.
Waste Management and Habitat Protection
With the average length of snow seasons decreasing by five days per decade, an ever-growing number of people continue to flock to the slopes. Ski slopes present a strange dichotomy with nature and their very existence is evidence of man’s impact on climate change. Ski resorts must exert tremendous energies and resources to consistently recreate optimal snowy conditions. Large machinery and equipment, which unleash an told number of carbon deposits, see routine use throughout the season. To prevent environmental contamination, the EPA and OSHA require compliant combustible and flammable liquid storage of all petroleum based products. Our chemical storage lockers and guarantee segregated chemical storage of gasoline, diesel fuels and lubricants for ski slopes and recreational venues. Because of their versatility and sleek design, our customizable chemical storage lockers can be easily implemented into any large commercial setting that don’t detract from your theme park’s natural vibe.
Because artificial snow takes longer to melt than natural accumulations, such bounties of the fake white stuff can kill or damage natural vegetation. Slope crews and maintenance personnel must therefore work fervently in the offseason to mitigate erosion and replace decaying vegetation to keep slopes green and pristine in a leadup to the winter months. Like any landscaping venture, crews must rely on artificial fertilizers and pesticides to preserve the delicate balance between conservation and natural encroachment. Ski resorts are sprawling parks, so there is always something to repair or replace during the quiet offseason. Our temporary economical storage containers can be easily moved onsite for to assist for expansive renovation and construction projects. You’ll also need to provide ample storage space for potential hazardous waste items, including oil filters, used batteries, fuels, solvents and paints. Our innovative spill sump containment systems, which come standard on any hazardous materials storage locker, is a great storage stopgap until long-term chemical storage can be secured.
Equipment Storage and Maintenance
As you are well-aware, the offseason is the best time for routine maintenance. But what will you do with those costly snow guns and spare parts used to repair snow groomers? Steel welded protection works both ways. While our chemical storage lockers and retrofitted shipping containers are great for preventing dangerous chemicals from escaping, they are also ideal when it comes to protecting tools and expensive chemicals from conniving crooks. Since ski resorts are typically located in remote areas they are might appear as ideal marks for criminals looking for an easy score far removed from law enforcement. Our heavy gauge chemical storage lockers will freeze out potential perpetrators while protecting pricy tools and equipment.
