Deep Ground Thawing
Ground Thawing Blankets by ALCO provide heat when and where contractors need it. Our electric-powered blankets are perfect for ground thawing so critical winter-time construction projects can continue. When it’s cold outside, the ground can often freeze and make your job harder or impossible. Thaw the frozen ground with ease and resume working by applying our amazing heated ground thawing blankets. Our goal is to help you prep the ground as quickly as possible and with few efforts; thus saving you time, money, and the trouble of working in inhospitable environments.
If you are located in an area with cold and dry weather, the ground can suffer from deep freezes which make digging far harder than it should be. While snow can be an insulator, you will still have to remove it. Waiting the winter out is often not an option. A company with strict calendar deadlines cannot afford to wait until the warmer months arrive. Here is where we can help. Our custom covers will thaw frozen ground, melt existing ice and snow, and keep your equipment engines warm at all times. We will help you create a favorable and secure working environment during the cold winter months. Keep the projects on track while saving money.
