Projects > Pennsylvania > East Stroudsburg - Snow Melting Asphalt Retrofit
Location:
Residence in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania (Eastern part of Pennsylvania)
Radiant Heat System: ClearZone single snow melting system installed that covers approximately 300 square feet.
Medium:
Asphalt driveway retrofitted with a radiant snow melting system.
Details: Grooves cut into asphalt driveway for ClearZone radiant snow melting system.
600 lineal feet of lines are marked on the driveway - Lines are spaced at 6 inches.
|
|
A professional saw cutter cuts grooves in the asphalt 1-1½" inches deep and ¼" wide
|
600 lineal feet of heat cable is laid in the cut grooves.
|
|
Backer Rod (a foam filler) is used to fill in space between the heat
cable and sealant.
|
The cable was laid out to heat a pair of 2'-wide
tire tracks up the middle and an area to exit and enter at the bottom and top of the driveway - Backer Rod nearly complete
|
|
The heat cable is spliced to cold lead, which connects to the transformer inside the control unit.
|
The grooves are then sealed with a blacktop sealant to prevent rocks and other sharp
objects from damaging the cable.
|
|
Close up picture of sealed driveway - The sealant used is black and blends in well with the asphalt
|
This system is activated by an aerial-mounted snow switch and a manual, overriding,
12-hour timer in the garage.
