Transportation and Heavy Equipment Services

Have you ever wondered what the Transportation and Heavy Equipment Services Department does?  Here's a breakdown of their services:

Snow Removal

This department has 70+ lots to maintain, equaling about 3,800,000 square feet.  It also has around 15 miles of roads on campus to keep clear of snow.

Storm Drains

This campus has over 200 storm drains, and Transportation and Heavy Equipment Services is in charge of keeping them clear.  They check them quarterly and clean them as needed, and the problem drains get checked weekly.

Construction

This shop works on excavation for emergency digs, assist other shops, concrete removal, grading for concrete replacement, and asphalt removal and replacement.

Street and Parking Lot Sweeping

Most of the year, the Transportation and Heavy Equipment Shop takes five days to complete a full round of sweeping the campus streets and parking lots.  During the Fall, the sweeper is running continuously.

Waste Disposal

The shop also dumps the dumpsters around campus for garbage and recycling.

Now when you see one of their trucks driving around campus, you might have a good idea of what they are up to!
