Snow Melter at Work

By BU Today ()

Where does all BU's snow go? The snow is piled high on Harry Agganis Way near Nickerson Field, where a new, massive machine called the Trecan 60-PD Snowmelter can melt 60 tons of snow per hour. The snow is dumped into the machine by pay loaders, and [...]the melt water flows into nearby drains. In years past, snow was piled up at staging sites across campus and eventually carted away to snow farms around Massachusetts.
