Snow loading & drifting
In regions where snow is a factor, snow loading and drifting can cause serious problems for buildings and structures.
-
Snow accumulation increases structural loads, sometimes to the point of failure.
-
Snow drifts can obstruct roadways, walkways, and building entries.
-
Snow and ice can obstruct a building's air intakes.
CPP's laboratory is equipped with accurate methods for simulating snowfall under a wide range of wind conditions. By modeling snowfall on and around a proposed or existing building design, CPP can help you avoid or remedy snow loading or snow drifting problems.
CPP has applied decades of experience to reduce or prevent the negative effects of snow loading, drifting, and deposition on and around buildings.
