Industrial cooling
Solutions for safe and efficient plant operations
From focus on operating plants safely and efficiently whilst complying with strict emissions limits and environmental targets, the UK industrial cooling sector is facing significant environmental and operational challenges. To solve these issues and meet targets, plants must be managed efficiently and innovatively.
What might this mean?
- Decarbonisation of energy and industrial systems
- Improving air quality through electrostatic precipitator services
- Design and structural upgrades, thermal upgrades, system rebuilds, and control system support
- Improving cooling tower performance
- Reducing overall repair and maintenance requirements
- Compliance cleaning and inspection
- Innovations in delivery of services including paperless compliance documentation and digital asset management

Our service offerings
Our cooling tower lifecycle services include supply and installation, for blue-chip companies that are involved in activity critical to the UK. With extensive experience implementing complex projects, we provide engineering capacity, project management, supervision, and qualified, skilled labour to your requirements.
We have been supporting the cooling tower market for many years and possess unrivalled knowledge about operating and maintaining cooling towers, safely and efficiently. We provide cooling tower cleaning and disinfection services based on a wealth of knowledge and experience, combined with innovative techniques, tools and cleaning products.
Costain supports clients with digitalising timber testing for greater structural accuracy. Our innovative solution for measuring the structural integrity of timber framed cooling towers provides an accurate reflection of your cooling tower’s structural condition.
We provide a range of condition monitoring services to allow maintenance to be scheduled, or actions to be taken to avoid the consequences of failure, before this occurs. Services include vibration testing and analysis, dynamic balancing, laser alignment and endoscope inspections.
Costain provides a full range of services from annual cleaning, through to fully comprehensive maintenance. These are designed to complement or completely replace in-house cooling tower maintenance, repair, and spare parts maintenance regimes.
Our chemical cleaning processes improve operational efficiency, help extend the life of equipment, plant and pipework, and enhance compliance with legionella prevention and control measures. We provide safe, economic and effective services for both specialised and routine cleaning. This minimises disruption during pre-commissioning and routine maintenance of plant and equipment.
Further capability
Costain helps clients improve air quality and meet emissions targets through electrostatic precipitator services. We specialise in servicing electrostatic precipitators and fabric filters of all designs, enabling our customers to continue to comply with their statutory emission limits.
Costain delivers service solutions covering air pollution control equipment inspection, overhaul, and upgrade. Our team has considerable experience, coupled with a strong client service focus which enables us to deliver best practice in plant optimisation.
