Abstract:The objective of this project was to examine and document liquid deicing storage and pump systems currently being used by departments of transportation and public works agencies across the country and best practices for managing and maintaining these systems. Using information gathered from surveys and interviews with transportation agencies and vendors, a concise, user-friendly manual was developed documenting liquid deicer storage and pumping system considerations and best practices including planning for success and for proactively maintaining the equipment involved in these systems. Additionally, the manual presents a range of liquid deicer storage and pumping systems ranging from “starting simple” to “more advanced” which include information on typical equipment, system expectations, cost, and personnel and training requirements for each liquid deicer storage and pump system. Findings from this research effort show that there is no one-size-fits-all liquid deicer storage and pumping system in use across multiple transportation agencies. Instead, these systems have been built to fit each agency’s needs and funding. However, the best practices and lessons learned from those operating and maintaining these systems can help support other agencies as they look to either maintain their existing equipment or implement new equipment or technology.
