Cooling Tower Repairs and Cleaning

We were awarded a scope of work by the Delaware Division of Facilities Maintenance at the Carvell Building in downtown Wilmington. The Base bid was the replacement of a defective two speed motor for the fan on one of three towers. We offered two alternates; one to replace the motor sheave and one to install a shaft kit. We also submitted a price to clean all three towers, plate heat exchangers and pump strainers. The State accepted the complete scope of work and requested the tower repairs and cleaning be completed by July 1.  The job was completed on time, including demobilization, for the quoted price.

We worked with the area representative Energy Transfer Solutions to get the OEM Evapco parts. While working through the process ETS suggested a factory training seminar and tour. Evapco has invested in research and development  to increase the efficiency of their cooling towers and fluid coolers. Evapco recognizes that it's not just more efficient motors and electrical components that saves money; making the towers easier to keep clean is key. They've made great strides in chemical-less water treatment products. I have included some pictures from the job site and the factory. I have two suggestions for interested people, one check out Evapco's web site for more details and two take the factory training sessions. It's a polished presentation by people who know their product and the important information the technicians who maintain their towers need to know.
