Avoid Digging in Frozen Ground

If you have ever tried to dig a hole in rocky terrain, then you already know what it's like trying to dig on frozen ground. Digging in frozen ground will hurt your back (if digging by hand) and your equipment. The PowerBlanket ExtraHot SuperDuty is designed for exactly this situation (more specifically for thawing ground for mortuary services). One ExtraHot SuperDuty PowerBlanket can thaw a depth of 18 inches and an area of 72 square feet of frozen ground overnight.

If the frozen ground where you are digging is covered in snow, the ExtraHot SuperDuty PowerBlanket can melt 5 feet of old snow (that is settled and denser than fresh snow) in approximately three days. Because the PowerBlanket is so durable, it can be walked on, driven over, and dragged without ever receiving damage. This means while the ground is thawing, the PowerBlanket also serves to heat the work area while other jobs are being performed. For best result, the minimum allowable temperature is -40 degrees F.

Winter construction always poses a lot of problems, but with the proper equipment you can make your job site manageable and more efficient. The key is finding products with multiple important usages, to cut down on your materials/equipment costs. The versatility of the PowerBlanket gives your work site the freedom it needs to get winter construction projects finished on schedule with as little bumps as possible along the way.

Thaw the Ground to Facilitate Winter Digging

Snow, ice, debris, trees and shrubs are some of the many obstacles faced when preparing a site for construction. Difficulty increases with frozen, hard ground that becomes impossible to prepare without the use of major machinery. Keeping the site free of snow and ice is another problem that often delays construction schedules and causes damage to newly poured concrete and construction. An electric heat PowerBlanket is an excellent solution to all of these problems.

The SuperDuty PowerBlanket can be easily connected to additional blankets to cover the allotted area. Its durable design allows the blankets to withstand even the harshest conditions, and is as easy to use as unrolling a sleeping bag. The blanket produces fast even heating for melting snow and ice, making ground preparation simple and easy, and to keep your construction site operational. Multiple PowerBlankets may be connected to cover larger areas.
