What we install

We engineer and install open-circuit and closed-circuit cooling towers, single or multi-cell configurations, counterflow or crossflow designs, induced or forced draft, with FRP or stainless components as the application requires. Options include variable-frequency drives, high-efficiency fill, low-sound fans, drift eliminators, basin heaters, side-stream filtration, and plume mitigation strategies. Each selection is tuned to your load profile, water quality, and site constraints for the lowest practical life-cycle cost.

Industries we serve

• Manufacturing and food processing
• Logistics, distribution, and cold storage
• Healthcare and medical office
• Commercial offices and mixed-use
• Hospitality and entertainment
• Education and municipal facilities
• Data rooms and technology spaces with water-side economizers

Our process

Assessment and engineering: We begin with a site walk, load and water-side calculations, electrical and structural review, and a constructability plan. We evaluate existing risers, condenser water pumps, heat exchangers, controls, and water treatment so the new tower integrates seamlessly.

Design and submittals: You receive a clear basis-of-design, equipment schedules, rigging plans, seismic details, and controls sequences. Our package streamlines permitting and inspections in Fontana and throughout Southern California.

Construction and rigging: We coordinate crane picks, traffic control, and safety. Structural steel, housekeeping pads, seismic anchorage, vibration isolation, piping and valving, and electrical feeders are installed to spec with QA checkpoints.

Controls and BMS: We integrate sensors, safeties, variable-speed fans, and setpoints for stable approach temperatures and responsive staging. BMS tie-ins deliver visibility and alarms that keep your operations protected.

Water treatment coordination: We align with your treatment provider for passivation, startup chemistry, and side-stream filtration to support hygienic operation and equipment longevity.

Clean commissioning: Flushing, leak checks, rotation and vibration checks, basin level set, fan tracking, heat load testing, and O and M training ensure the tower performs as designed. Documentation preserves manufacturer warranties and simplifies maintenance.

Safety, codes, and best practices

Our installations follow California energy requirements, local seismic criteria, and industry best practices for drift control, splash and fill selection, and access for maintenance. We support your risk management initiatives with provisions for proper water treatment, drift reduction, and service access. Where applicable, we coordinate to help your team implement a water management plan aligned with widely accepted guidelines for Legionella risk mitigation.

Retrofits and replacements

When an emergency replacement is needed, we fast-track like-for-like or high-efficiency upgrades with prefabrication, weekend changeouts, and temporary cooling strategies to minimize downtime. For planned retrofits, we model energy and water impacts, evaluate sound and plume considerations, and phase work to keep your building operational.

Deliverables you can expect

• Fixed-scope proposal with transparent pricing and schedule
• Basis-of-design and equipment submittals tailored to your facility
• Rigging and safety plan, including crane and traffic coordination
• Seismic anchorage details and vibration isolation strategy
• Piping, valving, strainers, and filtration schematic
• Controls integration narrative and BMS points list
• Startup, commissioning, and O and M documentation with training

Efficiency and operating cost

We design for low approach temperatures with minimal fan and pump horsepower through smart cell staging, VFDs, and fill selection. Sound-reduction packages, optimized drift eliminators, and right-sized basins reduce neighbor impact, water loss, and maintenance. The result is a tower that performs on spec with fewer surprises over its service life.

Service area

Based in Los Angeles, we proudly serve Fontana and nearby cities across Los Angeles County and surrounding regions, including Orange County, Ventura County, and Western Riverside County.

Our mission

Healthy air for a healthy life guides everything we do. For cooling towers, that means reliable heat rejection, cleaner commissioning, and coordination with water treatment to support safer, more comfortable indoor environments.
