Understanding Edmonton Ground Frost Removal
In the winter months in Edmonton, temperatures can plummet significantly, causing the moisture in the soil near the surface to freeze. This ground frost becomes very hard and poses a considerable obstacle to various piling or excavation activities. Ground frost removal becomes imperative where the use of portable ground heaters is necessary in the late winter months.
Exploring the Concept of a
Portable Ground Heater
To address the challenges posed by frozen ground in cold-weather construction, specialized mobile ground heaters come into play. These innovative ground-thawing devices utilize a heating system akin to that found in radiant floors but are portable and tailored for outdoor industrial use. The primary objective of the mobile glycol ground heater is to efficiently thaw frozen ground, allowing construction projects to progress seamlessly despite unfavorable ground frost.
Mobile Glycol Ground Heater in Edmonton
The ground-thawing equipment features a network of hoses laid out over areas of frozen ground or curing concrete. These hoses act as conduits for a heated propylene glycol solution to circulate. To maximize efficiency, the ground is enveloped with a polyvapor barrier, and the hoses are covered with insulating blankets, which creates an enclosure that directs heat into the frozen soil.
The heating system comprises dual coil heaters that elevate the temperature of the propylene glycol solution within a reservoir to 180 degrees Fahrenheit. The heated glycol in the reservoir is then pumped through the hose network, facilitating the thawing process. The glycol solution is cyclically returned to the reservoir for reheating.
Versatility and Mobility
The Mobile Glycol Ground Heater proves to be a versatile solution, enabling construction projects to surmount frozen ground challenges by efficiently thawing up to one foot of ground daily. This technology plays a pivotal role in promoting concrete curing in cold climates and maintaining optimal surface temperatures for construction activities. Its mobility renders it a valuable asset across diverse construction scenarios where winter conditions significantly impact project timelines and success.
