Common Issues We Resolve
-
Structural deterioration – Basin cracks, corroded steel, degraded louvers/aprons, and wood/fiberglass repairs
-
Mechanical failures – Fans, gearboxes, drives, motors, shafts, bearings, and alignment issues
-
Fill & drift problems – Scaled or damaged fill media, clogged nozzles, and ineffective drift eliminators
-
Corrosion & chemistry – Coating failures, material loss, and treatment gaps that shorten service life
-
Leaks & drainage – Inefficient water distribution, standing water, and blowdown/overflow issues
Our Repair & Upgrade Solutions
Structural Repairs & Coatings
Rebuild basins, repair supports, and apply protective systems (epoxy/FRP) to extend life and prevent leakage.
Mechanical Rehabilitation
Replace or realign fans, gear reducers, motors, shafts, and belts; balance and vibration check to restore efficiency.
Integrating with plant systems? Coordinate tie-ins through our mechanical services team.
Fill, Nozzles & Drift Eliminators
Clean or replace fill media, restore distribution, and upgrade eliminators to reduce water loss and plume.
Corrosion Prevention
Material upgrades (stainless/FRP where appropriate), surface prep, and coating programs suited to Arizona conditions.
Hydraulic & Drainage Improvements
Seal leaks, adjust weirs, improve blowdown, and correct slopes to eliminate ponding and bio-growth.
Programmed Maintenance
Custom plans for inspection, cleaning, and seasonal checks via facility maintenance services.
Why It Matters in Arizona
-
Extreme heat: Increases thermal load and stresses materials—keep airflow, fill condition, and water chemistry in check.
-
Hard water & dust: Accelerate scaling and fouling—pair repairs with treatment and periodic cleaning.
-
Monsoon moisture: Demands intact coatings, proper drainage, and verified electrics.
Our Process
-
Condition Assessment – Structural, mechanical, and water-side review (photos & measurements)
-
Scope & Options – Repair vs. replace vs. phased plan with outage alignment
-
Execution – Safe access, repairs, balance/alignment, and coatings per spec
-
QA & Commissioning – Vibration/amp checks, flow & distribution review, leak tests
-
Closeout & Care – Report with findings, parts list, and maintenance cadence
