A reputable construction contractor faced significant challenges thawing frozen ground in extreme winter conditions. The existing ground thaw technology required extensive labor, long thaw times, and large amounts of space—factors that led to project delays and rising costs.
Traditional ground thaw heaters relied on multiple heating lines, which increased setup complexity and manpower requirements. Despite the effort, the quality of the thaw was inconsistent, often leaving behind wet, muddy ground that slowed progress and created unfavorable site conditions.
With a long winter ahead and strict project deadlines to meet, the contractor required a faster and more efficient solution.

REIC Rentals’ technology team evaluated the site and recommended a modern approach to ground thawing using REIC Rentals JetHeat flameless heaters.
Unlike traditional glycol-based systems, the flameless heaters used flexible ducting and tarps instead of heating lines. This allowed larger areas to be thawed in significantly less time while reducing site congestion.
The system required only a single operator, and the convective heating method ensured the ground thawed evenly and remained dry, eliminating the muddy conditions common with conventional methods.
Switching to REIC Rentals’ flameless ground thaw technology dramatically reduced labor requirements and accelerated the thawing process. Faster setup and operation helped the contractor regain control of the project schedule.
By adopting JetHeat flameless heaters from REIC Rentals, the contractor achieved substantial cost savings, avoided contractual penalties related to delays, and maintained safe, workable ground conditions throughout the winter.
