The Road Commission of Macomb County (RCMC) is charged with maintaining more than 1,700 miles of roads, including I-94 and I-696.

According to Bob Mykytiak, Macomb County’s maintenance superintendent, winter weather in southeastern Michigan can vary dramatically from year to year, making planning, developing and implementing effective winter-maintenance programs a challenge.

According to Bob Mykytiak, Macomb County’s maintenance superintendent, winter weather in southeastern Michigan can vary dramatically from year to year, making planning, developing and implementing effective winter-maintenance programs a challenge.

Several years ago, RCMC began using the automated brine maker to produce brine mixtures for pre-wetting during snow and ice events. When used as a pre-treatment, brine is a highly effective and an increasingly economic solution for combating snow and ice issues on roadways.

By allowing municipalities such as Macomb County to produce their own brine on demand, the AccuBrine automated brine maker puts them in control and virtually eliminates potential production and supply headaches.

State-of-the-art automation means the automated brine maker consistently produces high-quality brine by continuously monitoring concentration levels.

The AccuBrine automated brine maker helps keep Macomb County roads as safe as possible by enabling efficient, reliable brine production when pre-wetting is key to combating snow and ice issues.
