Industrial Services · Field-erected cooling towers
Inspection, maintenance, emergency repairs, rehabilitation and reconstruction for oil and gas, energy, major infrastructure and institutional campuses — by our own engineers and site teams since 2011.
Results
Capacity results are project outcomes from individual tower upgrades; results depend on the tower, its duty and operating conditions.

How we keep towers performing
01 · Inspect
Internal and mechanical inspection, and thermal testing to CTI ATC-105, show where a tower is losing performance.
02 · Engineer
Thermal, mechanical and structural calculations in-house — aligned with the tower OEM — define the right upgrade.
03 · Rebuild
New fill, distribution and FRP structure installed by our own crews — up to 42% more capacity from an existing tower.
04 · Maintain
Planned visits, inspections and long-term maintenance contracts keep towers running between shutdowns.
05 · Respond
A 24/7 emergency line and stocked spares for when something fails.

Explore a cooling tower
Choose a number on the tower, or a button below, to see what typically goes wrong with that component and how we put it right.
What goes wrong
Blade damage, wrong pitch or imbalance cuts airflow and causes vibration.
What we do
Blade repair or replacement, pitch setting, tip clearance, and new fan designs for more airflow at lower power.
Related service →What goes wrong
Misalignment and wear lead to noise, oil leaks and trips.
What we do
Laser alignment, vibration analysis, and gearbox and drive-shaft overhaul or replacement.
Related service →What goes wrong
Misalignment and bearing wear raise vibration and energy use.
What we do
Alignment and vibration analysis across the whole mechanical train, with motor overhaul or replacement.
Related service →What goes wrong
Damaged or displaced eliminators let water escape as drift.
What we do
High-efficiency drift eliminators, with drift as low as 0.0005% of circulating flow.
Related service →What goes wrong
Clogged nozzles and broken laterals leave dry zones in the fill.
What we do
Nozzle replacement and FRP or PVC distribution repair or upgrade.
Related service →What goes wrong
Fouled or collapsed fill sends warmer water back to the process.
What we do
Thermal performance testing, then fill cleaning, replacement or upgrade to suit your water quality.
Related service →What goes wrong
Damaged louvres let in debris and sunlight and upset airflow.
What we do
Louvre and casing repair or replacement, including FRP.
Related service →What goes wrong
Sludge, scale and leaks reduce capacity and water quality.
What we do
Basin cleaning and repair, and side-stream filtration.
Related service →What goes wrong
Timber decay, steel corrosion and FRP damage weaken the tower.
What we do
FRP repairs, epoxy coating and timber-to-FRP reconstruction.
Related service →Long-term maintenance
Al Kanar holds a long-term maintenance contract with a regional petrochemical giant. The same team, procedures and spares that support that contract are available to every customer — from a single inspection to a multi-year maintenance partnership.
Turnaround services
Inspect the tower and its mechanical equipment.
Identify problems and recommend the right fix.
Supply spare parts from stock.
Repair, service or reconstruct the tower.
Agreed inspections, functional checks or thermal testing, then completion records and recommendations.
Spares ready
We hold critical cooling tower spares in our own warehouse, so replacement parts reach site quickly — even during an unplanned outage.
From our sites
Fouled film fill before and after hydro-jet cleaning — a typical result that keeps a tower in service without the cost of new fill.
