How does ground thawing work in the arctic?

Ground thawing in the arctic has its own unique challenges. Tundra ground has rather moist soil and air temperatures reach as low as –56° F, with wind chills approaching –100° F. Some areas of the arctic have frost depths of more than 2000 feet. Needless to say, work in this environment is quite extreme.

The solution is the Ground Heater E3000 model. Unlike steam thawing which can further saturate soil making a muddy slop mess, the Ground Heater drives down moisture and heat deep into the soil.

• First the excess snow must be removed and expose the frozen ground.
• Afterwards places the hoses six inches apart over the area.
• Place three layers of R-6 rated insulation blankets over the hoses.

The Ground Heater can thaw up to a depth of 6 feet in around 115 hours depending on soil contents.
