Slip-and-fall accidents are among the most common liability claims in winter, according to AAA. Winter storms have cost billions of dollars in insured losses, just in the past few years. For businesses, that’s a major issue. In healthcare facilities where patient safety and uninterrupted access are non-negotiable, the stakes are even higher. Radiant snow melt systems can eliminate surface ice before it becomes a hazard, dramatically reducing legal exposure.
Robust and flexible REHAU RAUPEX piping in one of area’s largest snow and ice melting systems helps State Park Welcome Center guests walk safely all winter long.
In a hydronic snow and ice melting (SIM) system, warm water/glycol circulates through pipes embedded in concrete slabs to melt snow and ice above. With sensors, the system automatically activates based on temperature and moisture, effectively melting snow on contact by evaporating it or directing water to drains.
Performa tubing is suitable for a full range of radiant applications in residential, commercial and industrial applications. These include radiant heating, radiant cooling and snow and ice melting.
The Pass Life community near Summit at Snoqualmie ski resort struggles to keep up with snow removal due to quick snow accumulation. Traditional methods like shoveling and snowblowing are insufficient.
In 1988, Holland, Michigan’s downtown needed revitalization. Merchants were leaving for a nearby indoor mall. Local industrialist Ed Prince proposed installing a snow-melt system for the streets and sidewalks after seeing a similar system in Europe.
Keystone Air Power is a thriving Amish enterprise that runs a fully modern hardware store in Central Pennsylvania. The 52,000-square-foot building is constructed around a cutting-edge, off-grid mechanical and electrical system that demonstrates the Amish's knowledge of smart technology.
Help, I’ve fallen and I can’t get up! For older folks, that’s a serious consideration, and falls can break bones and cause lifelong debilitating injuries, while ice and snow present numerous dangers.
The webinar will discuss how snow-melting systems enhance safety and protection for home and business owners. It will also cover design considerations and the financial impact.
This course drills deep into the engineering aspects of tube length, tube center density, tube size and other factors affecting hydronic radiant heating systems.
