EXTREN structural shapes are broadly used in the fabrication of stick built cooling towers to pre-established designs based on existing engineering concepts. It comprises a reinforced fiberglass structure thermoset in a polyester or a vinyl ester resin for enhanced corrosion resistant properties. This product is available in over 100 different standard shapes with custom structural components available for complex engineering designs.

These high-strength FRP structural components are typically combined with proprietary decking and shielding systems to form the overall superstructure of a cooling tower. SAFPLANK, for example, is a system of interlocking fiberglass planks designed to form a continuous surface. It is routinely used to fabricate walkways and to replace aluminum and steel structural components in a range of industrial applications, including the hot water basins of cooling towers. This provides enhanced resistance to humidity and chemical corrosion for improved component longevity.

DURASHIELD HC building panels are used to replace concrete and steel cladding in cooling tower constructions. This product provides suitable resistance to fluctuating thermodynamic conditions and represents significant cost savings due to the material’s high strength and lightweight properties.

These materials have been used in the fabrication of stick built and modular cooling tower projects, and for renovating existing structures.
