Cooling Towers

The dry/wet loading cycle in cooling towers provides an ideal environment for corrosion of the structure. Many of these cooling towers are constructed with concrete, and the reinforcing steel corrodes after a short service life. In addition, larger cooling towers such as those used in the nuclear power industry include concrete beams and columns in the interior of the tower that corrode rapidly. Repairs must consider both a reinforcement scheme to replenish the area of steel lost to corrosion, and a protection mechanism to slow down the future corrosion rate of these elements.
