Special Circumstances

Project undertaken during the spring to allow the three remaining towers to maintain 24-7 cooling while these three other towers were replaced.
New towers included stainless steel basins, VSD’s, inverter duty motors, separate motorized tower isolation valves, and full access to the top deck for maintenance.
The construction schedule and project cost were reduced by closely coordinating the tower supply and return connections with the existing structural supports to eliminate any modifications to the steel.
