Commercial Ice Control

About Commercial Ice Control

Downtown Omaha's high-rises throw long shadows across the sidewalks below, and in winter those shadows keep the ice from fully melting even on a sunny afternoon. Commercial Ice Control treats those stretches — office plazas, lots near CHI Health Center, loading docks behind First National Tower — before shadowed ice turns into the kind that doesn't announce itself until someone's already down. Parking structures and street-level lots get salted and plowed on a schedule built around when downtown's workforce actually arrives, not just whenever a storm happens to end. Entrances and walkways get the same close attention, since a lobby door is exactly where people stop watching their feet. Downtown is built on concrete and glass, and keeping the ice off both is the whole job.
