Ramp Heating

Self-regulating heat tracing cables provide snow/ice melting and are designed for direct burial within concrete ramps – we can provide trace heating system designs for ramp heating applications, including car parks.

Ramp heating provides safe public access to buildings affected by snow and ice conditions during Winter.

Using ramp heating cables ensures continued access to both underground, basement and multi-storey car parks for residents and visitors during Winter months – the energy efficient ramp heating system uses self-regulating cables energising when the sensors pick up snow & Ice with a multi-sensor control and monitoring device.

Ramp Heating Applications Include

Car Park Ramps
Loading Bays
Pedestrian Access Ways
Forklift Ramps
Driveways
External Stairs

Targeted Ramp Heating for Car Parks Using Trace Heating Systems

Usually ramps, pedestrian walkways or driveways are heated entirely to provide complete surface heating of snow & ice clearance – where power supply is limited a partial ramp heating system can be installed to effectively melt snow and ice. Commonly, this involves heating tyre trackways to provide precision delivered electric heat to heavy traffic areas of the ramp.

Trace heating cables and systems can be installed to alleviate settlement of snow and the formation of ice on roads, ramps, stairs, footpaths and emergency exit areas.

THP can design and install ramp heating to suit your requirements and provide technical advice on repairing/replacing existing systems.
