The longevity and durability of a cooling tower are directly determined by the materials used in its construction. Harsh environments—constant exposure to warm water, chemical treatment, and outside weather—demand materials that resist corrosion, degradation, and structural fatigue. The choice of material impacts maintenance costs, repair frequency, and the overall service life of the unit. We use engineered materials specifically selected for each component to deliver maximum reliability.
Galvanized steel is a common choice for casings and structural supports due to its strength and cost-effectiveness. However, in highly corrosive environments or for longer life, stainless steel (particularly 304 or 316 grades) is used for critical components like cold water basins, structural frames, and fan cylinders. For the most demanding applications, fiberglass-reinforced polyester (FRP) casings and components offer exceptional resistance to corrosion and are virtually maintenance-free. The fill media, the heart of the heat transfer process, is often made from durable, corrosion-resistant PVC. Drift eliminators are typically constructed from PVC or wood treated for moisture resistance. Selecting the right material for the specific application is a core part of our design process, ensuring we deliver a product built to last for decades.
