Wet Cooling - Custom - Structure - Fiberglass
GEA's fiberglass reinforced poly- or vinyl-ester structures offer the same standardization as our wooden structures. GEA's fiberglass towers have the same time-proven geometrical design of our wooden-framed towers while offering easier inspection and reduced maintenance by the nature of their design. In addition, this lightweight, high strength material is virtually impervious to any environmental condition or chemical in the circulating water. This resistance to chemicals makes GEA's fiberglass tower a clear choice for seawater, wastewater or any cooling application.
