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.
