GROUND THAWING WITH IDAHO'S HAILEY CEMETERY

Digging in winter is tricky. If there is snow, the snow typically acts as an insulator, protecting the ground from a deep freeze. You still, however, have to remove the snow. If there is not a heavy blanket of snow, the ground can freeze much deeper and complicate your digging efforts. Powerblanket extra hot blankets thaw frozen ground, keep vehicle or equipment engines warm, and effectively melt dangerous ice dams. Melt snow and ice from roofs, walkways, and digging sites. See how Hailey Cemetery in Idaho used Powerblanket’s Ground Thawing Blanket to simplify grave site prep.

DEEP THOUGHTS ON GROUND THAWING

Do you need to dig to repair a pipe? Is your construction crew prepping to lay concrete on frozen topsoil? In either case, dealing with frozen ground is certainly not ideal and waiting until the ground thaws in the late spring or early summer is not an option.

A south-central Utah plumber said, “I wish I had known about Powerblanket’s ground thawing blankets. We had a job in Mount Pleasant that got so cold that we could not dig. We started laying out thermal blankets every night to avoid the overnight hard freeze. We had to layer the thermal blankets in order to keep the ground warm enough to work each morning. Our progress was slow and labored, and we never knew what we would find at the job site each morning. It would have been so much easier if we had had Powerblankets.”

“Your blankets are absolutely excellent. Thanks to the ground thawing blankets, we were able to quickly thaw the ground and complete our job. In fact, we estimate a savings of 10 hours per site equaling a savings of $5,000 already. Calculating this to our thousands of sites, the savings is huge! We are excited about the time and money Powerblanket has saved us and look forward to future savings.”

Walsh Construction saved more than $5.43 for every $1.00 spent on Powerblanket heating blankets during a wintertime cold weather concrete job. They calculated this based on cost of labor and materials to build and move heated enclosures along two-and-one-half miles of a concrete canal wall built for the Illinois Waterway.
"It worked perfectly. . . . It thawed about 14 inches down into the ground. The grass greened up and I was able to cut it up into strips and roll it up. The sod was in good shape and I stored it in our garage. After the burial we put the dirt back in a rolled the sod back out. Normally we tear the sod up and throw it away and replant it in the springtime."

"The Ground Thawing Blanket was exactly what we needed to break through the tough winter soil. It saved us hours of manual labor and nearly $100 in landscaping. I was really happy with it, and we’ll be using it again this year."

“These really do a great job of thawing ground quickly. I live in North Dakota and the frost can get to 8' in some harsh winters, even some rural water lines froze a couple years back. These will usually thaw about a foot a day directly below the blanket and it's surprising how easy it digs with the moisture softening up the soil. As an electrician these have been a real life saver.”
