2. HeatWork’s heating and
thawing concept
Winter has traditionally been a time of waiting and even lay-offs in the building and con-
struction industry. HeatWork systems provide a competitive advantage; operations
can continue all year round, whatever the weather. Stoppages and staff lay-offs are avo-
ided. HeatWork makes your company a winner in competition with other operators.
