Description
In the winter months, serious injury can occur from the formation of ice on work platforms in warehouse loading bays or on entrance walkways to busy public buildings etc. This potential hazard can easily be minimised by installing an ice prevention system.
In the case of snow fall, an ice prevention system will quickly melt any snow that falls providing clear access for pedestrians and vehicles on pavements and drives.
MST heating cable mats are rated at 300 W/m² and are used for ice and snow melting of outdoor areas and other applications where the cable is embedded in concrete. The most common application in industry is heating of ramp or loading platforms in factories and warehouses, where an ice prevention system can reduce the risk of accidents and ensure work can be carried out at all times. There are however a variety of applications for ice and snow melting. All these applications can be kept free from ice and snow so heavy salting and snow shovelling are avoided. These include car parks; garage driveways; pavements and outdoor steps.
