The Ice Problem - The New England Airport’s Winter Crisis

New England, known for its cold, snowy winters, presented a serious issue for the airport maintenance manager. As a weather forecast predicted a large fast-approaching storm, it was imperative to have a large salt dispensing hopper container ready to de-ice the airport. The manager’s requirements were twofold: it had to be a non-steel container (due to salt corrosion) and had to be able to simultaneously load two ATV salt dispensers. Moreover, due to budget constraints, the manager was inclined towards a cost-effective option that rejected more expensive materials like aluminum and stainless steel.
