Insight Recon, formerly PACE Recon, has been repairing cooling towers in the Carolinas for over 55 years and is proud to be your go-to source for factory-authorized refurbishment, repairs, reconstruction, parts, and replacement components to lengthen the life of your cooling tower. 

After many years of operation, cooling towers may require more than small repair work and individual component replacement to return the thermal performance necessary to support plant processes.  Above and beyond thermal performance is the need to address the durability of the cooling tower. Replacement of the heat transfer media (“fill”) in an older cooling tower will boost cooling capacity short-term, but unless structural integrity is addressed, there will be no improvement in the longevity of the cooling tower. The structures of older cooling towers of wood construction, for example, have no doubt seen an inherent loss of strength depending on variables such as wood species and operating conditions. Spot repairs are an inexpensive approach to maintaining operability; however, they do not address the potential loss in the structural safety factor of the cooling tower. With proper guidance, a successful cooling tower reconstruction project can achieve returns in both cooling capacity and structural integrity, thus extending the life of the cooling tower.

With these goals in mind, how can you plan and execute a successful project and avoid potential reconstruction pitfalls? Regardless of your experience with cooling tower reconstruction, a review of industry best practices will help ensure your success.
