It’s that time of year again!
December is upon up and winter have well and truly reared its icy head. As we
enter these cold months, ice, snow and freezing all become issues that we are faced
with. We all look forward to a white Christmas, but sometimes problems can
arise from a winter wonderland.
Once the holidays are over and
the work force returns, it’s often when the real cold sets in. Snow and ice can
be dangerous for those on the pavement as well as those in vehicles on the
road.
At Cross Electrical we have a
range of snow and ice melting solutions that can help keep your property and
business safe for users.
Winter danger areas include
roads, driveways, ramps, helipads and pedestrian zones. These can all are kept
free from snow and ice with Cross Electrical. There is less traffic congestion
and there are fewer accidents on icy winter roads.
Using a Cross outdoor surface
heating/cooling system saves costs, reduces the amount of personnel required
for clearing snow and minimises personal injury and damage to property
significantly in adverse weather conditions. In addition to this, the system is
energy efficient, as all systems have ‘bespoke’ temperature control panels
incorporating electronic controllers with remote sensors mounted in the surface
of the outdoor area providing maximum energy savings.
Stations or other services that
are outside which see a lot of footfall would benefit from underground heating
as additional costs for the operator for on-call duty such as clearing snow and
cleaning up is difficult to plan ahead of time. At the same time, the costs for
cleaning the carriages and maybe escalators which exist due to the
contamination caused by grit and salt are reduced.
Should the heating cables be
directly under asphalt, embedded in concrete or integrated into stairways or
steps our products provide longevity of service for any application. To find
out more about our Cross snow melting system don’t hesitate to contact us with your
questions.
