Operations Department

PROFILE

The Operations Department of the Butler County Engineer's Office is responsible for all Force Account projects as well as the general day to day maintenance and seasonal type maintenance of roads and bridges on the County roadway system. This includes ditching and drainage projects, painting and striping of roads, signing, traffic signal maintenance, patching, pavement repair, bridge repair, berm work, guardrail repair, mowing, brush and weed control, and snow and ice control. Also included is emergency maintenance such as storm damage, downed trees, high water and flooding problems, and any debris that poses an immediate safety hazard to the motoring public.

Snow and Ice Control

Snow and ice control is one of the more visible activities performed by the Butler County Engineer's Office. Winter weather can keep road crews busy whether it's a little bit of ice or a lot of snow. Crews have to be out just the same although the method of treatment may vary depending upon what type of winter conditions are fouling the roads. Our goal is to make your commute safe.
