HDS made and installed 6 heat mats controlled by an ice and snow melting control which uses air temperature and moisture sensors. The total electrical load of 26Kw was spread over the 6 bespoke mats (300w/sqm). The heat mats were fitted on base tarmac with a tarmac surface and tracks were used to make the installation more economical.
