Pipe geometry
Consistent circuit spacing and identified headers support a uniform thermal response and a clear pressure-test record.
PRODUCT / 02
The ice pad starts with a precise thermal path.
IRM coordinates pipe layout, insulation, concrete, edge details and frost protection so the finished surface can be even, durable and serviceable.
ICE PAD ASSEMBLY
Every layer has a job to do.
The pipe network is only one part of an ice pad designed for long-term performance.
We review pipe material and spacing alongside insulation thickness, vapor control, slab reinforcement, expansion movement, drainage, sensors and sub-floor heating. This avoids the common gap between a refrigeration quotation and a buildable floor package.
Review an ice pad scope ↗SPECIFICATION FOCUS
Uniform cooling. Protected structure. Clear records.
Pipe and slab decisions affect surface quality, energy use, construction risk and the ability to diagnose a problem later.
Slab build-up
Insulation, reinforcement, concrete depth and surface tolerance are aligned with loads, sport and finishing method.
Frost protection
Sub-floor heating, drainage and edge details help protect the building from frost heave and moisture-related damage.
DELIVERY NOTES
Protect the work between installation and ice making.
A pipe system can be technically correct and still be damaged by poor site sequencing. We keep construction protection and handover in the scope.
Layout and pressure test
Confirm circuit identification, supports, penetrations, test pressure and photographic records before concrete placement.
Protection and tolerance
Control access, protect exposed pipework, coordinate pour sequence and record finished levels across the pad.
As-built information
Provide circuit maps, test results, sensor locations, operating notes and maintenance references for the venue team.
NEXT STEP
Make the floor package buildable.
Share your rink dimensions, ground conditions and current drawings. IRM will help identify the pad information still needed for procurement.
