Don't let this happen to your cooling tower

Robert Fulkerson provides an inspection service where we inspect the rotating mechanical equipment, water distribution system, and all other internals. We also inspect the complete structure of the cooling tower. The tower may be constructed from wood, fiberglass, steel or concrete. Wood can be damaged by biological attack, chemical attack, iron or white pocket rot and fans out of balance. Regular, thorough inspections are necessary to properly maintain your cooling tower. We can locate problems which may reduce the useful life of your cooling tower. We find biological attack before it spreads throughout the tower. Members of our team have many years of experience in cooling tower design, construction, inspection and testing. We know what to look for, where to look for it and how to recognize potential problems when they exist.
