/ Concrete is the natural choice /
Concrete is the choice when you want a natural, locally available construction material, ideally suited for long service life in the harshest cooling tower environment.
A few of the advantages of concrete include:
•Structurally Stable
The coefficient of thermal expansion is less than steel, and concrete defies the detrimental effects of heat and ultraviolet light. It naturally maintains its structural integrity whether wet or dry.
•Durable
Impervious to a broad range of corrosive
•Fire Resistant
Marley natural draft concrete cooling towers with our standard hanging PVC film fill system are Factory Mutual and Nuclear Mutual Limited approved. Sprinkler systems are not required, saving you on first cost and maintenance expense, too.
• Environmentally Stable Concrete is a natural material which will not impact the quality of cooling water circulating through the tower or discharge contaminant into the air.
• Easily Available
Our construction superintendents have the knowledge and experience to work with local bridge and building crafts people, and most cities in the world have concrete mix and precast plants.
