How do you de-ice a 10,000 SF freezer?

We have had to work in different warehouse situations due to liquids. We have had to extract water, sewage and even cooking oil. However this job was a bit different. The water was frozen! 

A sprinkler head was accidentally broken off and pumped a great deal of water (which quickly turned to ice) into this companies main frozen food freezer. Ice was up to an 1" thick in areas.

This job required a lot of effort working in a very difficult environment, which was -10 degrees below zero and very slippery. 

For most of our guys, it was just another job that needed to get done. To our customer, it was who can help us stay operating and allow us to still meet our customers demand without alerting them to our problem.
