Scope Of Work
This office tower is an 18-story building located in the downtown area of Cincinnati. The BAC cooling tower is located within the building on the 17th floor. The system was 8 years old and equipped with asbestos fill. The building management wanted the fill replaced with new, high-efficiency PVC fill. Other components of the job included:
- Grinding of all interior metal surfaces.
- Coating the interior metal with special rubber based polymer metal protector.
- Repair of concrete pillars that support the tower.
- Balancing of the fan system.
This rebuild has already added 10 years to the life of the tower and should continue to operate trouble free for an additional 10 years.
