I always wondered how an ice rink was made
@usborn15 жыл бұрын
This is the way these guy make it, other my use an aluminum floor. In the old days the use to use pipes set in sand and sawdust. Time change everything. I use to put it down for Ice Capades.

now a days the ice stays in the rink all season long, untill the end of the season, they can cover the ice for other event's such as basketball

@usborn15 жыл бұрын
I put down the ice floors for ice capades from 80 to 85. I was done a little different then this. We could put down a floor 60 feet wide and up to 160 long. We would make the ice using an everyday garden hose with a spray nozzle. It could take up to 24 hrs to make the ice. Two guys, one at a time would trade off for 8 hrs walking backwards spraying water. A little at a time slow and steady is how it is done. The stuff they use in the tube is the same as what we used, ethylene glycol as you would know it by Antifreeze or they may use propylene glycol it is less toxic.

It also notifies you if there is a leak somewhere, as once the glycol leaks, then dries, it leaves pink powder where it was. If it was clear there could be a huge leak on the ice surface, and no one would know until the ice had a giant hole in it.
