Cooling Towers
01
Technical inspections of cooling towers
Elements inspected:
- Closing side panels and structure: Distribution Support, Fill Support, Diffuser, Internal Structure, Panels
- Mechanical equipment: Fan, Gearbox, Transmission, Motor
- Distribution system: Main, Secondary, Sprinklers
- Drift eliminators
- Fill pack
Technical inspections aim to restore the cooling tower’s original performance while reducing operational costs from excessive consumption of electricity, water and treatment chemicals. Each component is checked for:
- Overall condition;
- Optimal performance;
- Material Degradation;
- Level of fouling in the tower.
We check the condition and cleanliness of cooling equipment. Sediments, scaling, corrosive substances, sludge, algae, etc. reduce efficiency.
We assess the condition and operation of every component. If any are found defective, we provide repair or replacement recommendations.
Following technical inspection, we issue a corresponding inspection report detailiing:
- Condition of each element.
- Repair or replacement of recommendations.

Revamping & Retrofitting
BENEFITS:
- Energy cost savings
- Reduced maintenance costs
- Noise reduction
Refurbishment and upgrading of cooling towers
We have over 20 years’ experience in tower refurbishment, offering the best solutions to adapt systems to current operating conditions.
Always seeking maximum performance with the greatest efficiency. Our specialised engineering department designs and manufactures cooling towers, as well as upgrading existing ones.
Although cooling equipment has a long service life, without updates it can lead to high maintenance costs and noise emissions. We identify and analyse the best options for restoring towers, including:
- Replacement/repair of internal components such as fill, drift eliminators, distribution systems
- Replacement/repair of mechanical equipment, improving efficiency, noise, maintenance, etc.
- Redesigning cooling tower to meet new operating requirements.
- General repair of structures and side closing panels.
03
Preventive maintenance of cooling equipment
To ensure efficiency and durability in cooling equipment, whether for commercial refrigeration or industrial refrigeration, preventive maintenance is essential.
Planned maintenance reduces the risk of breakdowns and equipment downtime. It consists of planned actions, whether necessary or not, that reduce the risk of equipment damage.
A structured maintenance plan helps cut energy costs and extend service life.
A manutenção preventiva dos equipamentos de refrigeração é essencial para manter a eficácia e eficiência de operação das torres de refrigeração e condensadores evaporativos. Cooling towers and evaporative condensers are often outdoors and exposed to external conditions, making preventive care vital for maintaining performance and efficiency.
04
Safe access solutions for cooling towers
Protections and platforms for cooling towers.
Safety is key when accessing cooling towers for cleaning, disinfection, and maintenance. Guardrails, walkways, and ladders provide secure access to all parts of the tower.
We install safe access systems made from GRP, stainless steel or galvanised steel,
We install safe access systems made from GRP, stainless steel or galvanised steel, including collective protections and platforms to ensure safe working conditions in cooling towers.
