Cooling tower refurbishing in most cases is much less expensive than replacement.
You have options!
The average life expectancy of a commercial cooling tower, according to most manufacturers, is 15 - 20 years, before they need to be rebuilt or replaced.

Many cooling towers were installed in 1980’s and are 30 years old now. If the integrity of the tower’s metal sump, sidewalls and distribution pans are relatively sound, but the fiberglass fill has deteriorated to the point where it needs to be replaced, there are many dollars ($) that can be saved versus the cost of replacement.
Costs will vary depending on the size and scope of the project…. As an example, you can completely refurbish four 200 ton cooling towers for approximately $80,000.00. The cost to replace those same towers can be over $200,000.
Finally..... budget practices vary widely across industries, but often these refurbish projects can classify as “repairs” rather than capital equipment, which can facilitate funding the projects.
