Cooling Towers
With many decades of experience, backed by industry expertise, we offer engineered thermal solutions for every cooling tower need. From factory assembled package cooling towers, large field erected Induced Draft Cooling Towers to Natural Draft Cooling Towers.
From design to commissioning, refurbishment and maintenance, we service both owners and operators of cooling towers and cooling systems. Our offerings includes cooling towers, from factory assembled ‘package’ type cooling towers to large field erected towers.
- We provide consultative advice in achieving the best possible solution to improve operational efficiency.
- We offer competitive designs for new-build towers with latest generation technology products.
- We develop individual concepts if a performance increase is desired or tower availability is to be ensured.

Concrete Induced Draft Cooling Towers (IDCT)
We are the leaders when it comes to designing and constructing large field-erected industrial cooling systems that meet our clients’ specific needs and operating conditions.
We offer various water-cooling tower solutions ranging from counter flow to crossflow configurations, in either forced or induced draught.
- Materials
- Fills
These are available in numerous different materials of construction as follows:
- Reinforced Concrete
- FRP (Fibre Reinforced Plastic)
- Steel (Painted, Hot Dip Galvanized or Stainless Steel)
Various types of fill can be used, which are dependent on the application and water quality. Some fills on offer are:
- Film Packs – Clean water
- Trickle Packs – Moderately dirty water
- Splash Packs – Dirty water
- Splash Bars – Very dirty water
Pultruded FRP Induced Draft Cooling Towers (IDCT)
Our Pultruded FRP (glass reinforced plastic) Field Erected Cooling Towers offer the best solution for long-term use in corrosive environments.
FRP is a modern material that has many advantages over traditional construction materials such as concrete, steel or wood.
These advantages include:
- Exceptional chemical and corrosion resistance
- Resistance to all types of “aggressive” water (for example sea water)
- Resistance to weather conditions
- High impact strength
- Rigidity
- Light weight
Package Cooling Towers
The iconic EWK cooling tower is an evaporative cooling tower in a robust, durable and compact FRP casing.
EWK cooling towers have truly stood the test of time and thousands of these units are still operational after decades of reliable service.
The FM range of cooling towers is a modular range of multi-fanned factory assembled cooling towers which provide high cooling capacity units that are easily transported and maintained.
- Non-Corroding
- Efficient
- Reliability
- Easy Installation
Designed for a long life under extreme damp and contaminated conditions, every industrial cooling tower is constructed from non-corroding materials. The shell is constructed from heavy duty GRP. All internal parts are made of PVC, 3CR12, stainless steel or polypropylene and all fasteners are grade 304 stainless steel.
Slurry and Solution Cooling Towers
We have developed an industrial cooling tower specifically designed to handle slurries, zinc solutions as well as highly abrasive and/or corrosive solutions.
Slurry and Solution Cooling Towers are designed with ease of maintenance in mind and have forced draught fans, removable spray lances (accessible from an external walkway) and are fill-less making them ideally suited for applications where fouling of the internals would normally be a major operational concern.
Drift eliminators are assembled into easily removable pads and can be provided with an automatic CIP (Cleaning In Place) system. Drift losses had been minimized and drift losses can be reduced to as low as 0,0002% of the re-circulating solution flow rate.
The draught cooling tower is typically octagonal in shape and consists of a number of field assembled, dual composite GRP panels, complete with an integral basin (rubber lined stainless steel) which is designed to be non-clogging.
Solution temperatures of up to 80° can be accommodated.
The structural panels have integral polypropylene liners with the structural laminate produced from a high quality vinyl ester resin; a conductive carbon tissue is included as a corrosion barrier, as well as to allow for spark testing of the internal polypropylene panel seal welds.
Refurbishment, Upgrade & Spares
We have been active in the refurbishment of cooling towers for the past three decades. We also provide a turnkey services and spares solution to ensure your plant runs optimally at all times.
- Refurbishment
- Parts & spares
Our industry-recognised refurbishment solution includes the installation of fill material, drift eliminators, spray systems and nozzles as well as fan mechanicals. Old cooling towers can often be satisfactorily refurbished as an alternative to the purchase of a new tower. Our services include:
Refurbishment/Service
- Site servicing of all makes and types of cooling towers
- Full refurbishment of all makes and types of cooling towers
- Refurbishment of fan blades
- Alignment of fan drives
Cooling tower spare parts including fans, motors , drives, couplings, motors, fill (packing), distribution piping and nozzles, drift eliminators and louvers
