• Abstract:
  During the winter of 2005-2006, the Maine Department of Transportation (MaineDOT), Bureau of ; Maintenance and Operations experimented with several liquid de-icing products designed to pre-wet ; granular materials. This experimentation was undertaken in an effort to determine which liquid de-icer ; would be the most suitable replacement for the calcium chloride (LiquiDow) product previously used by ; the Department. LiquiDow is no longer available from the supplier who was providing the product. It is ; unclear at this time if LiquiDow can be obtained from one of the other suppliers in the industry. ; A process was subsequently developed to document the results experienced by the Departments Highway ; Maintenance crews. Several Crew Supervisors from each Region, representing a cross-section of ; opinions, were interviewed as part of this process. A list of 10 questions (attached) was used to initiate an ; informal discussion with each group. Results of these discussions, summarized by Region, are included in ; Appendix A.
