Winter resource roads are used only during frozen conditions. Constructing water management features at the end of winter when the ground is hard can be difficult and may lead to poor performance of the water management feature. Pre-planning water management techniques that are to take place during winter road decommissioning will provide a greater chance of successful performance and improved efficiencies. Construction of frozen road or ditchline is difficult but can be facilitated through the use of correctly sized equipment, and attachments designed for the task.
