COLD WEATHER CONCRETE INNOVATIONS
Massman Construction Company concluded that the traditional solution of erecting a structure and heating up the ambient air temperature wouldn’t work on an important Kansas City bridge project. They turned to Powerblanket heated curing blankets, which warmed up the surrounding concrete and support beam, and then kept a constant temperature on the concrete. This innovative solution finished the job.
CONSTRUCTION WITH LADY LIBERTY
Reilly Construction of Wrightstown, NJ won a bid from the U. S. Department of the Interior, National Parks to replace the roof of The Great Hall Statue of Liberty National Monument. The Great Hall, which now houses the Ellis Island Immigration Museum, is considered one of the most symbolically important structures in American history. Reilly needed extra heat in the form of curing blankets to cure the masonry block work at the proper temperature (~50°F/~10°C) during December in New York and with the added chill of the water. Reilly used five Powerblanket MD0520 concrete curing blankets for the application and appreciated the increased temperature control.
Ground Thawing
The high watt density in Powerblanket Ground Thawing Blankets helps tackle the difficulty of thawing ground in harsh climates. These ground thawing blankets have a higher watt density and higher temperature range than our concrete curing blankets. DIg in and get started, even when temperatures are very low.

Spray Foam Container Heaters
Spray foam itself as well as the equipment functions best at specified temperatures, and extremes on either end–colder or hotter–can cause problems and lead to product waste.
One of the main temperature issues is foam shrinkage, which happens when the foam or the surface it’s being applied to is too cold. Cold temperatures cause the chemical reaction of the foam to lose quality, which then can cause the foam to expand improperly. Likewise, if the surface is too cold, the foam will not adhere as it should and begins to shrink away from the surface. Powerblanket barrel and bucket heaters are an ideal temperature solution because blankets distribute heat evenly over the entire container.
Hot Boxes for Roofing
Almost all types of roofing material use adhesive during the installation process, and almost all adhesives need warm temperatures or a heat source to properly cure and fasten. Without proper fastening, the roof will fail. Added effort and expense are required to apply these materials in cold winter weather. Change your winter roofing experience with a Powerblanket Hot Box. Warm materials, prevent tools and equipment from freezing, and keep your schedule and bottom line intact by preserving critical materials with a Powerblanket Hot Box.

Pouring precast forms of concrete once a day has long been the industry standard. But pouring only once a day amounts to painstaking throughput speeds and affects the rate at which you can do business. With an innovative Powerblanket heating solution in place, you can increase your pour rate by 300%. Add one of our custom heating solutions to your manufacturing process and go from pouring once a day to three times a day.
