Overview

Chromalox Frost Heave Prevention Systems can prevent damage that occurs when moisture below a concrete slab freezes, causing excessive expansion and buckling. To prevent frost heave, heating cable is installed in a sand or aggregate bed neneath the concrete slab to maintain moisture temperature above freezing. Chromalox frost heave prevention systems provide reliable protection for a variety of applications, including food storage freezers, blast freezers, and roadways or walkways.
