The IceTec8 ice thickness measurement tool and associated PC
program are an automated system for measuring and maintaining an
ice sheet installed upon a solid substrate of concrete or sand typical of
hockey rinks, skating rinks and the like.
The system is particularly useful where a need to maintain records of
ice conditions and maintenance activities is required.
Ice thickness is measured with the IceTec8 tool. Data is transferred to
a Personal Computer (PC) running the “IceTec8” program. Ice
maintenance directions are entered and the data and directions are
recorded to a file and printed on a paper document that can be given
to ice maintenance personnel. When maintenance activities are
complete, the file can be reopened and the maintenance actions
recorded and saved in the file. The completed file can be printed and
faxed to governing bodies or the report file can be transmitted by
attaching it to a standard e-mail.
Reports are saved in both PDF format for easy viewing and in CSV
format for importing to standard spreadsheet programs like Excel.
