As Chicagoans know well, winter in the Midwest is no small challenge. With snowstorms and icy conditions capable of halting travel and slowing business, keeping the region’s critical infrastructure running requires unmatched preparation, skilled personnel, and reliable equipment. This year, BSI Snow & Ice Removal, Inc. is once again stepping up to the task, preparing for the 2025 winter season with a comprehensive strategy to keep both Midway International Airport and O’Hare International Airport clear and operational.
Recruiting the Best: Local-150 Union Contractors
To meet the demands of Chicago’s unpredictable winters, BSI is actively recruiting Local-150 Union contractors to join its dedicated snow removal team. These union professionals bring a wealth of experience and skill in operating heavy machinery, from loaders and skid steers to advanced snow-melting equipment. By partnering with Local-150, BSI ensures that the airports are staffed with highly trained operators who are ready to respond quickly and effectively to any snow event, no matter how severe.
Advanced Equipment and Modern Methods
In addition to its strong workforce, BSI is leveraging state-of-the-art equipment and proven strategies to stay ahead of the snow. This includes deploying industrial snow melters capable of processing hundreds of tons of snow per hour, ensuring vital runways, taxiways, and gates remain clear for incoming and outgoing flights. Alongside traditional plows, pushers, and brushes, BSI employs a strategic mix of equipment and methods to maximize efficiency while minimizing downtime for airlines and passengers.
A Commitment to Safety and Efficiency
At the heart of BSI’s operations is a commitment to safety and reliability. Airports like O’Hare and Midway operate on extremely tight schedules, handling hundreds of flights daily, and any delay can ripple across the nation’s air travel system. By combining skilled Local-150 operators, advanced equipment, and precise planning, BSI ensures that airport operations remain as smooth as possible during the most challenging winter weather events.
Looking Ahead to 2025
As the snow season approaches, BSI Snow & Ice Removal, Inc. continues to demonstrate why it is a trusted partner in Chicago’s aviation industry. With its focus on union talent, cutting-edge equipment, and operational excellence, BSI is prepared to meet whatever challenges the 2025 winter season may bring.
