Ground Thawing Blankets
Overview

Ground Thawing Blankets

Frozen ground stops digging, pouring, and backfilling cold. Instead of waiting on the weather or renting bulky forced-air equipment, ground thawing blankets lay directly over the area and thaw the soil from the surface down.

They also protect fresh below-grade work from freezing, so foundations, footings, and utilities stay on schedule when the temperature drops.
