Detailed inspections
Evaporative cooling towers should be inspected by competent cooling tower engineers. Failed or deteriorating components compromise performance and can lead to an unexpected or catastrophic failure.
Costain offers thorough cooling tower inspections and tests that are carried out by experienced engineers who can determine compliance, the integrity of structural and internal components and overall cooling tower performance. Our inspections cover all types of cooling towers and include all individual associated passive and mechanical parts. Inspections are followed by full written reports including photographic evidence where permitted, highlighting any areas of concern or areas requiring further investigation.
