HeatWork unblocks frozen culverts!
The newly developed HeatWork Ice Guard Systems is an efficient way of thawing ice blocking culverts, drains and storm sewage systems.
The system is permanently installed and used in tandem with the HeatWork FrostHeater 1800 or 3600.

What you need to know about thawing frozen ground
Optimizing kW (power), liquid volumes (l/h) and insulation are the most important factors for efficient thawing.
1. HeatWork machines are equipped with the world’s best boiler and burner technologies, with a boiler and burner outputs of 105 kW and 119 kW, respectively.
2. HeatWork machines are equipped with revolutionary peripheral impeller pumps without wear parts, each pump circulating between 1,800 – 3,600 liters of fluid per hour. The HW 1800 is equipped with one pump capable of 1,800 l/h, and the HW 3600 is equipped with 2 pumps, each capable of 1,800 l/h.
3. The insulation mats have been developed by leading experts. Their unique U-value, heat-reflecting surfaces and design maximise the thawing process. Heat loss as low as 5 %. The thawing process is maximized further by laying down HeatWork tarpaulins over the insulation mats.
4. Patented 3-part hose drum: This allows for the shortest possible distance between the thawing area and the heat source. This means the thawing area will maintain a temperature of 70-80 degrees Celsius at all times.
