Concrete is the choice when you want a natural, locally available
construction material, ideally suited for long service life in the
harshest cooling tower environment.
A few of the advantages of concrete include:
• Structurally Stable
The coefficient of thermal expansion is less
than steel, and concrete defies the detrimental
effects of heat and ultraviolet light. It naturally
maintains its structural integrity whether wet
or dry.
• Durable
Impervious to a broad range of corrosive
substances—immune to rot and decay.
• Fire Resistant
Marley natural draft concrete cooling towers
with our standard hanging PVC film fill system
are Factory Mutual and Nuclear Mutual Limited
approved. Sprinkler systems are not required,
saving you on first cost and maintenance
expense, too.
• Environmentally Stable
Concrete is a natural material which
will not impact the quality of cooling
water circulating through the tower
or discharge contaminant into the air.
• Easily Available
Our construction superintendents
have the knowledge and experience
to work with local bridge and
building crafts people, and most
cities in the world have concrete mix
and precast plants.
