How Construction Site Heaters Help, Even if You’re Not in Construction

Construction site heaters allow you to work through the winter months while keeping your people safe. People working outdoors in the cold run the risk of frostbite and even hypothermia, both of which can creep up on you.

The other benefit of heating equipment is that some types can be used to thaw frozen ground. This helps everyone—from construction companies to the homeowner—to get their jobs done on time and on budget.

Different types of heating options are available to you:

• Indirect fired heaters
  
  
• Flameless heat
  
  
• Ground thaw
   

The type of heating option you choose depends on your application. For example, ground thaw is important at the beginning of the construction process, whereas indirect fired heaters are used to heat the inside of a structure. Large indirect heat is often used on pipeline projects. Oil and gas projects use both flameless heat and flameless ground thaw.
