Using rocks for drainage to keep water away from your …
Gravel (and other rocks) act as barriers that shun rain and other forms of precipitation away from a building's foundation. Another benefit of using rock for drainage is that exposed rock absorbs the heat from sunlight more than other materials like mulch. Rock then radiates this heat at night. This helps to melt ice more quickly and move ...

Aggregate Heating & Sand Heating
As a rule of thumb, one million BTU can heat 40 tons of sand to 125°F in one hour. When left out-side, this sand would only lose 10°F to 15°F per day. With your sand heated to 125°F, you no longer need to superheat water. Still, however, Steam Engineering technology allows you to heat water to 140°F very efficiently, at a rate of 1,200 ...
