De-icing and thawing

Don't let your construction site freeze this winter.

NEW!

Steam de-icing and
hot water thawing.

In winter, the accumulation of ice and snow can block pipes and compromise worker safety, preventing operations from running smoothly. Klondike Environmental is equipped with its de-icing jeter truck to melt ice from essential surfaces including scaffolding, platforms and accesses, as well as watermains.

Main Benefits of
Steam De-Icing for Construction Sites

  • Efficiency: Ice melts instantly, even in cold weather, quickly clearing work areas.
  • Dammage Prevention: Unlike salt or chemicals, steam does not damage materials such as concrete and metal.
  • Increased Safety: By removing ice from walkways and work areas, steam de-icing reduces the risk of falls and accidents, ensuring a safer work environment.

Pipes De-Icing (such as watermain)

When water freezes in pipes, it can block the flow and even cause pipe ruptures. To thaw pipes with steam restores fluid flow without damaging the facilities.

Examples of pipes we deal with: Sewer line, Watermain

Hot Water De-Icing

Hot water deicing is another effective method for removing ice, especially for horizontal surfaces or large volume areas where steam application may be less practical.

  • Targeted application of pressured water: Used for large surfaces such as sidewalks, roads and certain infrastructures.
  • Advantages for specific areas: Hot water can cover large surfaces in less time, ideal for concrete slabs, pedestrian crossings and site accesses.
  • Keeping materials in good condition : This method, like steam, does not damage structures.
