The present invention will automatically melt snow that has acculmulated on roads in areas having cold climates, and thus enhance the safety of vehicles and aircraft traveling on such roads and runways. The invention is comprised of a heating unit wherein a surface heating element in sheet form is positioned between metal plates and wrapped in a tar-based moisture-proof sheet. The heating unit is embedded beneath a paved surface. After carefully rolling of the asphalt and concrete base layer so that it is free of irregularities, the upper surface of the base layer is coated with a primer. After installing and wiring the above-mentioned heating unit on top of the base layer, an additional coating of primer is applied, followed by paving with a material having a high degree of thermal conductivity, such as an asphalt layer or concrete layer containing fine granules of blast furnace slag, which functions as the upper surface material.

La présente invention permet de faire fondre automatiquement de la neige accumulée sur les routes, et ainsi d'accroître la sécurité des véhicules et avions sur les voies de circulation. L'invention comprend un générateur de chauffage où un élément chauffant de surface en forme de feuille est intercallé entre des plaques de métal et recouvert d'une feuille hydrofuge à base de goudron. Le générateur est encastré sous la surface pavée. La couche de base, composée d'asphalte et de béton, est d'abord cylindrée pour enlever toute irrégularité, puis sa surface supérieure est recouverte d'une couche d'apprêt. Par la suite, après le générateur de chauffage disposé sur la couche de base et son installation électrique effectuée, une seconde couche d'apprêt est appliquée, suivie du pavage en utilisant un matériau de haute conductivité thermique comme matériau de surface supérieure, par exemple une couche d'asphalte ou de béton contenant des granules de laitier de haut fourneau.
