The roofguards snow load scale in the media

The February issue of the trade magazine rationell reinigen published a three-page article about our patented snow scale.

The article uses a concrete example of use to show the various advantages of our automated snow load measuring system, both in terms of risk analysis and in the coordination of possibly necessary clearing work. 

In order to maintain the only indoor ice rink in the district and thus continue to provide a sporting home for 200 children in the club, 50 local and out-of-town clubs with a total of 1,100 users, 13 schools and 6 kindergartens, as well as the public in curling, ice hockey and figure skating, TEV Miesbach e.V. must renovate the stadium to make it more energy-efficient.

The refurbishment of the Miesbach ice rink is considered a lighthouse project in the climate crisis. The project is not only sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety. Together with several other regional companies, roofguards GmbH is also participating in the exemplary project. (Source: Website of the TEV Miesbach e. V.)

We are very pleased to be able to contribute with our support of the renovation project to ensure the continued existence of the regional sports clubs in a modern, contemporary environment.

You can find all the details on the energy refurbishment of the TEV Miesbach e. V. ice rink on the club's homepage.

In the November 2020 issue of the trade magazine Der Sicherheits.berater a detailed interview of chief editor Bernd Zimmermann with roofguards managing director Tom Roßhuber was published.

Among others, the interview deals with the questions which added value the snow load scale offers to companies and which companies are among the main customers of roofguards GmbH. Mr. Zimmermann gets to the bottom of the question how it came to the development of the snow load scale and Mr. Roßhuber gives an outlook into the exciting future in terms of snow load measurement and more.

In its November 2020 issue, the IHK magazine for Munich and Upper Bavaria reports in detail in a two-page technical article on the history of the development of our snow load scale up to today's fully automated, digitized system.

The article also provides an outlook on future developments in the direction of AI - artificial intelligence - which will also be used in our snow load scales.

The PNP reports from our customer Bäder Burghausen, who monitors the flat roof of their indoor swimming pool with our snow load scale. Both the demands on the snow load, which have increased significantly since the construction of the indoor swimming pool in the 1970s, and a roof renovation due in the next 3 to 5 years are good reasons to monitor the flat roof of the indoor swimming pool with our Snow Load Guard as an additional safety measure. This way, in the event of heavy snowfall the responsible persons can react, before it´s too late.

The town of Burghausen also makes the snow load data measured by the Snow Load Guard available to its citizens online.

The Süddeutsche Zeitung was on site on the occasion of the press appointment regarding the installation of a total of five snow load scales in the municipal area of the Geretsried municipality and reported in a detailed article.
