About this Service
Heated snow melt systems embedded in Gunbarrel resin driveways automate ice removal for commercial strips and residential tracts in northeast Boulder's unincorporated areas. Electric mats suit apartment complex walkways and smaller residential driveways, while hydronic tubing covers Gunbarrel Shopping Center parking areas and North 55th Street commercial lots with boiler-powered circulation.
Shallow water table and plains alluvium require permeable drainage coordination before embedding heating elements, ensuring systems handle wind-swept plains exposure without compromising runoff management. Installation coordinates with Boulder County permitting for unincorporated properties, embedding heating elements in the resin base before surface application.
Systems activate automatically when pavement temperature drops below 38°F and moisture sensors detect precipitation, clearing snow from Airport Road access routes and Valmont Road commercial properties. Annual servicing checks thermostat calibration and heating element integrity before seasonal activation, with boiler integration sized for mixed-use access requirements and commercial traffic loads.
