Battling the 2008 Blizzard: Keeping Woburn Projects Moving
After a brutal January blizzard in 2008 buried half the construction sites in Woburn under thick snow, many projects ground to a halt. The biting cold and icy roads made it nearly impossible for crews to access portable toilets, leaving workers without essential sanitation during long shifts. This left site managers scrambling, knowing delays would cascade into costly setbacks if workers couldn’t take proper breaks.
We mobilized our crew with snow-ready trucks and brought portable toilets directly to the most remote, snowed-in sites within hours. Using our OSHA-certified safety gear, we set units on cleared patches to ensure stable footing. The crews stayed on schedule, with workers grateful for clean, reliable facilities right where they needed them.
Tanner City Portables saved our site during that harsh winter—no delays, no complaints from the crew.
