The question has two parts: (1) How many above ground parking structures are there in the snow belt of the U.S. and Canada? (2) Does TreCan ( a Canadian company that makes snow melters) have any competitors? A competitor would be someone who could, for instance, melt the snow off the top of a parking structure (as opposed to melting the snow off of a driveway or sidewalk) |

If its a new structure, you could possibly install radiant tubing on the exposed story, thus melting the snow as it hits the ground. I would contact a company called Wirsbo (Wirsbo.com) and ask them about it - in their literature they only reference driveways and sidewalks but I know that their good sized parking lot in their facility in Minnesota is radiantly heated (although it isn't a parking structure). As far as existing structures, I'm not sure how practical a retrofit to radiant would be. This is probably not the direction you wanted to go, but I saw snowmelt and this popped into my mind. |
