Snow melting systems have been steadily increasing in popularity during the last few years. This is due in part
to the risk management demands placed on building owners and occupants to provide clear and safe access to the
facilities even during inclement weather. The intent of this guide is to simplify the design and installation of an electrical
snow and ice melting system.
While there are many methods for determining the heating requirements of a snow and ice melting system, the goal
is to keep the protected area safe and accessible. The severity of weather in which the system must perform is of
primary significance. Therefore, it is important to establish a performance level1
as the amount of materials and power
requirements are directly related to the weather conditions.
Establishing a proper sequence of planning, procurement, installation and performance expectations before each
function occurs will ensure successful installation of a heat tracing system. To facilitate this interaction, this guide
2
has been assembled to assist engineers and contractors.
Notes:
1. The examples and descriptions contained in this guide are based on structurally sound, steel-reinforced slab-on-grade concrete 4 to 6 inches thick. The amounts of heat provided in the design tables are for
snow and ice melting at the rates indicated. Preventing accumulation from drifting snow or runoff from other sources may require additional heating cable. Should design conditions vary from those shown,
please contact a 3M representative for assistance.
2. The formulas, calculations, charts, tables and layout information presented have been researched for accuracy; however, the design and selection of a snow and ice melting system are ultimately the
responsibility of the user.
