WH&S

Access platforms and staircases provide vital easy access to the fan deck and mechanical operations of the Cooling Tower. These staircases must be kept in good condition. Most staircases are constructed from timber and in harsh dry conditions the timber can dry out, shrink, bolts become loose and movement occurs. This can cause treads to come loose and eventually fall out potentially when a person is walking on the stairs thus causing an extreme safety hazard. CTMS can rebuild the staircase and make good. We also offer a full replacement package, where by the existing unsafe staircase is removed and a new one is supplied and installed, manufactured from either Mild Steel Hot Dipped Galvanized, Stainless Steel, Aluminium or pultruded Fiberglass.

As shown in the staircase examples, fan decks are probably even more prone to shrinkage and delamination. Wet down systems in certain cases increase the problem. Fan decks are traditionally manufactured from ply or tongue and groove boards. With the harsh dry conditions, these decks often crack, split, warp and delaminate. CTMS can either refurbish or replace the deck. In the case of ply decks the top delaminated layer can be scabbled to remove the loose laminate. The ply is then coated with a thick rubber membrane to stop the delaminating process. As an option the existing deck can be removed and replaced with new timber product, ensuring a seal coat is applied from new, or as we often suggest in harsh conditions, replace the deck with a fiberglass deck. The initial cost is around 50% more than timber, however the life of the FRP, no maintenance, no swelling or shrinkage less weight on the existing structure, is a major advantage.
