A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
A snow melting apparatus for melting snow on sidewalks, driveways, and other walkways is provided. The snow melting apparatus comprises a plurality of individual heating cables with the heat cables woven together to form a mesh-like covering mat and the covering mat having a top surface and a bottom surface. An outer perimeter border surrounds the covering mat. A snowfall sensor mechanism is mounted to the covering mat with the snowfall sensor mechanism detecting precipitation and automatically activating the heating cables. The top surface of the covering mat is presented for a person to walk and or stand while the bottom surface of the covering mat is capable of being positioned against the sidewalk, driveway, or other walkway. Upon activation of the heating cables, the temperature of the heating cables increases thereby heating the entire covering mat.
