We repair, upgrade and rebuild industrial cooling towers.
From Baytown, Texas, across the Gulf Coast and beyond: repairs, thermal upgrades, inspections, performance testing, new construction and parts. Every manufacturer, every model, all four structural materials.

Six ways we keep towers working
We are not a general contractor who also does cooling towers. Cooling towers are the whole business, and have been since 1964.
Repairs & upgrades
Thermal upgrades that produce colder water and can let you take a cell out of service, plus structural and mechanical repair on any manufacturer’s tower.
- Thermal upgrades
- Structural & mechanical repair
- Safe-access remediation
Inspections & engineering
Physical inspection and a formal written evaluation covering safety of operation, structural integrity, thermal performance and general appearance.
- Written evaluation
- CTI ATC-105 testing
- Thermal analysis
New cooling towers
Guaranteed thermal performance, minimum fan horsepower and low pumping head, built in wood, concrete, steel or fiberglass, including on your existing basin.
- Thermal design
- Turnkey construction
- Cell additions
Emergency service
A tower out of service is lost production. Rapid outage response and post-storm inspection across the Gulf Coast.
- Outage response
- Storm & hurricane inspection
- Temporary cooling
Maintenance
Scheduled preventive maintenance that finds fill fouling, nozzle blockage and structural decay while they are still inexpensive to fix.
- Scheduled programs
- Condition monitoring
- Component replacement
HVAC cooling towers
Commercial, institutional and stadium towers: casing, fan stacks, ladders and walkways, with gearboxes often rebuilt in place to cut downtime.
- Rooftop & packaged towers
- Gearbox rebuild in place
- Casing & fan stacks
A tower that underperforms is costing you money every hour it runs
Cooling tower performance degrades quietly. Fill fouls, nozzles block, drift eliminators sag, structure decays. Nothing fails outright; the tower simply returns warmer water than it should.
Warmer water means the process runs hotter, condensers work harder, efficiency drops and capacity is capped on exactly the hot days when you need it most. It rarely shows up as a breakdown. It shows up on the energy bill and in lost throughput.
That is what a thermal evaluation is for: measure what the tower actually delivers, compare it against what it was designed to deliver, and put a number on the gap. Then the decision to repair, upgrade or replace becomes an economic one rather than a guess.
A single blocked nozzle is invisible from the ground. A basin full of them is a measurable thermal loss.
We can rebuild your tower without shutting the plant down
On-line replacement: we dismantle and rebuild one cell at a time while the remaining cells stay in service. You lose a fraction of capacity for a period instead of losing the whole tower, and you avoid scheduling the work around a full outage.
- New towers built on your existing basin, saving the civil works
- Crossflow to counterflow conversion
- Close approach to wet bulb
- High and low pH water, high hot-water temperatures, low wet bulb
- Severe winter operating conditions
- Wood, concrete, steel and fiberglass structures
Structural timber replaced in-basin, cell by cell, with the tower still in service.
We are not tied to one manufacturer, so the recommendation is not tied to one catalog.
Every manufacturer. Every model.
We repair and upgrade towers from all manufacturers, and we source parts for towers whose original makers no longer exist. When a tower needs a component, we specify what is right for the application rather than what one factory happens to sell.

Any part, any manufacturer, any model
Gear reducers, fans, drive shafts and couplings, motors, vibration switches, fill, drift eliminators, nozzles, distribution systems, fan stacks, casing and louvers, CTI-grade lumber and stainless hardware, FRP structural shapes and valves.
Tell us the make and model, or send a photograph of the nameplate and we will identify it.
Send us the nameplate. That is usually all we need to source the part.
Tell us about your tower
Send us the make, the problem and a photograph if you have one, and we will tell you what we would do about it. If the tower is already down, call; that is faster.
