PROTECT YOUR METAL BUILDING FROM SNOW AND ICE ACCUMULATION


Although many parts of the country are still experiencing pleasant fall weather conditions, winter is not far behind and this means potential snow and ice accumulation on your metal building. This may not be top of mind considering the current weather but it’s never too early to talk safety.


Structures of any type are designed for specific loadings. When an above average snowfall occurs, removing snow and ice buildup off the roof structure may help to keep deflections to a minimum. Failure to do this could result in an overload condition and cause serious damage to your metal building. We strongly urge you to remove the snow, to avoid this occurrence when repeated accumulation is expected. It is also recommended that a structural engineer be consulted before snow removal is initiated.


For more information regarding snow removal, we recommend that you consult the Snow Removal Section of the MBMA Manual (Appendix 9), which is attached at the bottom of this blog. Snow should be removed in as balanced a manner as possible. Care should be taken to prevent damage to the roof panels, any mechanicals and/or fasteners. Metal tools should not be used and snow blowers are also not advisable. When possible, it is recommended that snow be removed without personnel getting on the roof (through the use of draglines, etc.).


If light transmitting panels are present in your roof, the snow you are in the process of removing may conceal their location. Extreme care should be exercised when working in the area of light transmitting panels. Do not step directly on light transmitting panels, or in the area adjacent to a light transmitting panel.


The safety of our customers and buildings systems is our top priority so it’s important to recognize that a proactive approach to protecting any building from the excessive acts of nature is critical. For more information on how to safely remove snow from your metal building,
