ramp heating
Likely refers to outdoor ramps leading to buildings (parking garages, handicap entrances, etc.) that are heated under the surface to keep from freezing in winter conditions.
There is also a term "liuskalämmitys" (transposing a couple of letters) which refers to heating strips, used much like the heating tarps or mats (lämpömatto or routamatto), which are basically electrical heating elements inside a tarp that is spread over a ground to thaw it or to keep from freezing (such as after pouring concrete in winter conditions and allowing it to cure without freezing).
