Melting solutions for Snow and Ice in the Winter months!

It’s that time of year again! December is upon up and winter have well and truly reared its icy head. As we enter these cold months, ice, snow and freezing all become issues that we are faced with. We all look forward to a white Christmas, but sometimes problems can arise from a winter wonderland.
Once the holidays are over and the work force returns, it’s often when the real cold sets in. Snow and ice can be dangerous for those on the pavement as well as those in vehicles on the road.



At Cross Electrical we have a range of snow and ice melting solutions that can help keep your property and business safe for users.

Winter danger areas include roads, driveways, ramps, helipads and pedestrian zones. These can all are kept free from snow and ice with Cross Electrical. There is less traffic congestion and there are fewer accidents on icy winter roads.

Using a Cross outdoor surface heating/cooling system saves costs, reduces the amount of personnel required for clearing snow and minimises personal injury and damage to property significantly in adverse weather conditions. In addition to this, the system is energy efficient, as all systems have ‘bespoke’ temperature control panels incorporating electronic controllers with remote sensors mounted in the surface of the outdoor area providing maximum energy savings.

Stations or other services that are outside which see a lot of footfall would benefit from underground heating as additional costs for the operator for on-call duty such as clearing snow and cleaning up is difficult to plan ahead of time. At the same time, the costs for cleaning the carriages and maybe escalators which exist due to the contamination caused by grit and salt are reduced.


Should the heating cables be directly under asphalt, embedded in concrete or integrated into stairways or steps our products provide longevity of service for any application. To find out more about our Cross snow melting system don’t hesitate to contact us with your questions.
