How to clear the snow on the steel roof

1. heating method: turn on the indoor air conditioner or other heating equipment to increase the indoor temperature. Due to the thermal conductivity of the steel structure, the roof can also be heated rapidly, and the snow above the roof of the steel structure warehouse can also be melted as soon as possible.

2. Removal method: Snow can be shoveled on the roof of steel silo manually to achieve the effect of snow removal. This method can quickly clear the snow on the roof. However, due to the slippery roof, snow removal workers must have certain protective measures.

3. Washing method: Prepare a high-pressure faucet and wash it against the roof, so that the steel structure warehouse can be thoroughly cleaned. In snow removal, try to avoid using some corrosive snow removal agents, which may bring some corrosion to the steel structure warehouse.

Extended data:

The main purpose of roof snow removal is to prevent ice dams. The ice dam simply means that the snow on the roof melts and flows to the joint between the eaves and the rain mouth to condense into ice again, which seems to form a small dam, and then the melted snow water is intercepted by it and cannot be discharged downward. On the contrary, it may seep into the bottom of the tile due to the increase of accumulated water, which may easily lead to water leakage. Due to the change of temperature difference in the morning and evening, the stagnant water that cannot be discharged will go through many freezing cycles, which are the reasons for the dislocation and damage of roof tiles.

In addition, too much snow on the roof will also make the building structure not load-bearing and affect its service life. Usually, a square foot and an inch of snow weighs about a pound. In other words, a foot of snow on the roof means that the pressure on the roof exceeds 1000 pounds. If there is an ice dam, it can easily produce thousands of pounds of extra weight. In this case, several consecutive heavy snows can easily destroy the building structure, and in serious cases, it may cause the disaster of building collapse. Therefore, in the northern region with heavy snowfall, it is necessary to clear the snow on the roof in time to prevent the roof from leaking and collapsing.
