Heating for large-scale construction projects

To shield your personnel, processes and core equipment from cold temperatures, you must choose the right type of portable heater for your large-scale site:

• Electric heaters are exceptionally efficient, allowing you to control temperatures with clean heat

• Infrared heaters produce radiant heat, which is ideal for drying wet surfaces and defrosting equipment

• Indirect oil or gas-fired heaters produce clean, warm air at scale, making them ideal for large-scale interior projects

• Direct oil or gas-fired heaters lead the way in efficiency, making them ideal for outdoor operations and well-ventilated spaces

As a manufacturer with decades of experience supplying construction climate control units to projects of all types, reach out to our team to find the most fitting commercial-grade heaters.

Although direct and indirect-fired heaters both use combustibles to cost-effectively produce vast amounts of heat, there are key differences between these systems:

• Direct-fired units combust with air directly, making them exceptionally efficient but unsuitable for enclosed spaces

• Indirect-fired heaters use an in-built heat exchanger to produce fume-free air, meaning they are ideal for use in enclosed workspaces

If you want to improve the safety and productivity of your construction operations in the cold, speak to our experts to find the perfect heaters to suit any requirement.

To achieve safety compliance on site, it is important to:

• Keep sources of heat away from flammable materials to minimise the fire risk

• Closely monitor temperature levels so you can prevent people from overheating

• Position units upright on a flat surface, to prevent systems from tipping over

For more specific guidance on how to use your equipment safely, consult the instruction manual supplied with your units.

• Shielding vital equipment from frost damage, preventing disruptive delays

Yes. So long as your construction site has available power outlets, electrical heaters are a viable solution to keep temperatures controlled during your large-scale projects.

Determining the right size and type of construction heater for your sites – and the quantity needed – means considering several factors, such as:

• The size and layout of your sites

• The number of people and equipment on site

• The outdoor temperatures and climate

• The purpose your heaters are expected to serve
