Heat Storm - Outdoor Infrared Heaters

Omaha riverfront park necessitates the use of infrared heaters

05.11.11

In Omaha, Nebraska, construction workers are building a recreational park along the river that will feature thrilling activities, such as outdoor movies and concerts. The primary focus is on widening the river’s levee in order to protect the park from flooding, which occurs practically every year in the Great Plains of Nebraska. Workers and park-goers alike will need infrared heaters for the sake of comfort during extreme conditions, as this versatile region lies in the heart of blizzard country and tornado alley.

According to the Omaha World-Herald, a Great Lawn will be strategically situated in the center of the site, allowing people to walk their pets while their children play. A sand area will be placed nearby for relaxation along the tranquil river bank, and an outdoor amphitheater will be located just to the north for concerts and other forms of entertainment.

Park managers and construction supervisors would save money, all while reducing the environmental impact, with infrared heaters rather than alternative sources of warmth. Propane heaters are inconvenient because using them requires multiple trips to the local hardware store every time the tank needs to be replaced – which is usually 12 to 16 hours. In the long run, Heat Storm devices can cost at least 20 times less than propane heaters on a regular basis.
