  • This was the second layer of this season, first operation in 2024 !!
    A quiet and cold night in Montreal Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve streets.
    Another perfect job, well done by the contractor. Rare Larue 7460 with Detroit Diesel 12V71 motor.
    One of the last still in activity in Quebec province.

      I can remember when I was a kid in Sherbrooke, Quebec, the city did not remove the snow, after plowing, then came the massive snowblower, who sucked it all up and deposited it on everyone's front lawn. Great piles that we used to tunnel through.

      ​@socomquicksniper I think the point is that you really don't need that many machines and that many passes.

One pass with the frontloader used at 11:07 in the video in the street, then one pass on the sidewalk, then end with a blower if needed. You don't need all the other steps here.

    Here in Calgary, after a huge snowfall, crews come along a few days later, shove it all over to the side of the road. It takes up half a lane usually, they don't do side roads like this though. Then, the best part is, it sits there until we get a chinook and melts! Nothing like massive puddles of slush and filthy water everywhere that freeze at night!

    You guys in Canada are so lucky your snow removal is on point! In America's cities it is horrible we don't have roadsized snow blowers and also don't have smaller plow machines so if you live on a side street in the city you are completely screwed.

  • @raymondj8768

    Seems crazy 2 passes by the big plow to put it in the middle of the road then big plow puts it back by the curb for the blower to pick up why the hell move it so much before blowing it they should of ran the plow down the middle of the road then blew it in to the truck lol

      They are scraping to bare road. So they scrape the sides, then do a run or 2 down the middle scraping that and then blow it into the trucks. Not sure about Montreal but in places like Edmonton, through the winter they usually just scrape to a base of like 2 inches or even more until they get ruts that are too much and then do a scrape job like this. If you only scrapped the sides and then into the truck, you would leave compacted ice/snow in the middle where most people drive as its parking on either side. Not really desirable imho. This gets it all scraped, and only requires one pass of the blower, which there are fewer compared to graders ect.

    They have removed the front blade from the Volvo grader and so it is missing needed weight from front axle and continously struggles to keep straights. Front blade is for removing snow in front of the tractor and that midblade under frame is for high definity removal in height and surface finnish purposes. They should at least bolt on some weights at the nose. All the sound alarm elements seems more like north korean show and punishment to car owners than having working city and flexibility in snow removal. I am sure this looks awesome to foreigners. In Finland it is not this organized, but neither are nobody woke up, they just do their work without fanfares every day and night for 6 months of a year. Think about this happening everytime there is snowfall. :D Using long nose sleeper cab trucks on tight streets seems also like the brightest idea ever.

  • @travisaugustine7264
    @travisaugustine7264 Před 4 měsíci

    My community could learn a thing or ten about how to clear streets after a snowfall. We are pretty much packed snow/ice on all our city streets from November through April because they never scrap the roads. Never push the snow back as far as the curb. Come spring the road has upwards of 6 inches of ice on it and the snowbanks are over 2 feet away from the curb resulting in huge snowbanks that clog sewer drains resulting in flooded roadways until someone (non-city employee) goes and finds the storm drain and digs it out.

  • @therompeettori

    C'est vraiment pas efficace comme manière de faire, pourquoi faire simple quand on peut faire très compliqué.

      Avertissement du déneigement au moyen de sirènes
      Le conseiller Rodrigue Moore inscrit deux motions à l'ordre du jour de la séance municipale de lundl, concernant le déneigement.
      L'une de ces propositions suggères que lors du déblaiement de la neige dans les rues, les automobilistes qui sont stationnés soient avertis de laisser l'espace libre au moins une demi-heure à l'avance,au moven de sirènes dont le son serait différent de celui des voitures de la radio-police.
