The issue
Recovering from fost heave damage
Even if frost heave has already caused damage to your cold storage facility, the problem can still be corrected. Left unaddressed, frost heave can continue to distort floors and foundations, leading to:
- Worsening structural instability, increasing safety risks
- Escalating repair costs due to ongoing ground movement
- Operational downtime, disrupting business and supply chains
How frost heave recovery works
Thermatek® offers a specialized recovery system that gradually reverses the effects of frost heave by applying controlled heat to the affected area. Our system:
- Raises subfloor temperatures, allowing frozen ground to thaw safely
- Prevents sudden shifts, ensuring a controlled restoration process
- Restores floor stability, eliminating hazardous uneven surfaces
Scientific backing for frost heave recovery
- Studies from the Institute of Geotechnical Engineering confirm that controlled heating can safely reverse soil expansion caused by frost heave.
- Research in the Journal of Cold Regions Science and Technology demonstrates that maintaining above-freezing soil temperatures prevents reoccurrence.
