Cooling Tower Project January 2006 - August 2006 |
    |
| The project consisted of constructing a new tornado resistant, 2,000 ton, four cell, stand alone, reinforced concrete structural cooling tower with Marley cooling tower components. The Marley components consisted of the pumps, fans, fill and spray system. The concrete mix used in the construction of the cooling tower is a Type 5 Architectural white concrete mix. This new cooling tower replaces an existing 800 ton cooling tower, and was constructed, commissioned and validated for two weeks prior to demolishing the old tower. The existing building automation and cooling tower controls were modified to fit the new, larger tower. The cooling tower structure included a self contained pump house for the vertical turbine pumps, basket strainer, and sediment removal separator. The tower also included an electrical room which housed the Variable Frequency Drives, Motor Control Center, 600 amp Breaker, and miscellaneous transformers. The cooling tower structure was topped with a lightning dissipation array to match the remaining structures on the site. |
