Heat load for ice melt

Member Posts: 491
I am looking for heat load per foot for ice melt system.
I have a customer that has some large comercial freezers and is having problems with the ground freezing under the concrete floor just outside the doors and making the concrete heave, cracking the floor and pushing it up and down.
He wants me to install a radiant system as a break to keep the floor from freezing out side of the freezer also 5' into the freezer to help with ice build up from warm moist air condensing on the floor just inside the door.
The air temp is -40 degrees inside the freezer.
Some of you guy's back east deal with snow/Ice melt more than we do in the pacific northwest.
Any thoughts?
