Projects

More cooling, less downtime.

Selected rehabilitation, upgrade and emergency projects for energy producers and large campuses in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.

15 years: of cooling tower projects across Saudi Arabia and Bahrain
+42%: cooling capacity from an existing concrete tower
+25%: capacity in the same footprint
Zero: unit shutdowns during a tower replacement

Capacity results are project outcomes from individual tower upgrades; results depend on the tower, its duty and operating conditions.

Featured project

Replaced at 23 metres — without stopping the unit.

The original timber crossflow cooling tower — Timber crossflow tower replaced with a non-metallic FRP counterflow tower at a gas plant sulphur export unit.

Al Kanar team at handover of the new non-metallic cooling tower — Timber crossflow tower replaced with a non-metallic FRP counterflow tower at a gas plant sulphur export unit.

A timber crossflow tower had reached the end of its life on a unit that could not be taken offline.

Replaced it with a non-metallic FRP counterflow tower at 23 m basin level, while a temporary system — cooling tower, plate heat exchanger and circulation pumps — kept the unit running.

No unit shutdown
Work at 23 m basin level under strict safety controls
Temporary tower, plate heat exchanger and pumps supplied and run by our team
