Setting it up on site
- 01
Setting out on the raised base
Cell centres were set out on the raised base so the return header could run underneath the tower into the plant room rather than around it. Fan stack and ladder positions follow from those centres, so they are fixed before anything is lifted.
- 02
Shell and internals
Moulded FRP panels were bolted up cell by cell, then PVC film fill and drift eliminators were loaded from the fan deck down. Louvred inlets went on last, once the fill was seated.
- 03
Distribution and header
Distribution laterals were levelled across each cell and the nozzle pattern checked dry before water was admitted. The blue header was then tied into the campus chiller circuit.
- 04
Commissioning
Fans were run up and motor current read against the design figure, flow was trimmed across the three cells until they shared duty evenly, and the tower was handed over on a measured cold water temperature.
