The QuadraFlow is factory-fabricated, and is designed to be assembled at the jobsite. This allows the design flexibility that results from the unique QuadraFlow configuration and permits a wide variety of orientations.
Normally this assembly is included as part of the cooling tower contract, and is performed by erection subcontractors recognized and sanctioned by SPX. Their knowledge and expertise assures proper fit-up, alignment, and sealing of the various tower components—and contributes significantly to the trouble-free long-term operation of the tower. It also enables SPX to guarantee the thermal performance of the assembled tower. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that either SPX supervision or complete tower erection be included as part of your order.
Nevertheless, we recognize that circumstances may produce situations that require the tower to be assembled by inexperienced personnel without benefit of SPX erection labor or supervision. In support of that, a comprehensive, illustrated, assembly instruction manual is included with every shipment. This manual pictorially identifies the various tower components and provides step-by-step instructions designed to result in a properly assembled installation. Copies of this manual are also available to customers, on request, prior to the shipment of the tower to permit planning of the assembly process. However, we regret that thermal performance of a QuadraFlow cannot be certified or guaranteed without qualified SPX supervision during the assembly process.
