Storm and Seismic-Rated with StormStrong® & Fire-Rated with FireStrong® Technology

Each year, cooling towers are a major casualty of intense storms, high winds and fires. When these pieces of critical machinery are knocked offline, business operations must slow or stop, which can have serious negative impact on productivity and bottom lines. Unlike conventional cooling towers, Tower Tech modular cooling towers can be ordered with specific FM Approvals certifications. StormStrong and FireStrong technology can help your cooling operation stay online even through the harshest conditions.

StormStrong Cooling Towers

HVAC and industrial cooling towers are often greatly damaged by hurricanes. Facilities can incur significant repair costs for cooling towers and related equipment as a result of hurricanes and other tropical storms. This can lead to high potential downtime costs for the entire facility.

StormStrong cooling towers are constructed using the best, inherently corrosion-resistant FRP composite. These towers have demonstrated their ability to withstand hurricane-force winds and other weather-related stresses with minimal to no damage.

Investing in a StormStrong tower brings a sense of security. With engineering certifications that include 200 mph wind loading and wind pressures surpassing the highest requirements for the most severe storms, including missile impact Level D testing, StormStrong models can also be ordered to cover Zone 4 seismic rating with OSHPD approval. They are prefabricated with additional bracing reinforcements, and acoustic certifications are also available, providing peace of mind in the face of severe weather conditions.

FireStrong Cooling Towers

Tower Tech is dedicated to creating top-quality cooling tower solutions that adhere to the highest standards of fire safety. The FireStrong tower is FM-approved, ensuring that it has undergone rigorous testing and meets global standards for fire protection. 

After extensive testing, the entire Tower Tech product line is now available in the FM-approved FireStrong configuration. Tower Tech offers this option to enhance its products with FireStrong FRP composite technology. The FireStrong upgrade helps fortify a facility against potential fires.

FireStrong is a valuable addition for critical infrastructure projects that require higher resiliency standards. These offerings, combined with our expertise in using advanced materials like FRP composites, establish Tower Tech as the premier choice for safety and reliability.

StormStrong Cooling Towers

StormStrong cooling towers are engineered using structural FRP composites. They can and can stand up to hurricane-force winds and other weather-related stresses. As a standard offering, all Tower Tech StormStrong towers have engineering certifications covering Zone 4 seismic restraint with OSHPD approval and 200 MPH wind loading and wind pressures that exceed requirements for severe storms. Tower Tech also earned the industry’s first missile impact certification on a factory-assembled FRP cooling tower. Tower Tech models are shake-table tested with OSHPD pre-approval while also adhering to ASCE and IBC building codes to meet seismic and wind load requirements.

FireStrong Cooling Towers

Tower Tech has earned the industry’s first fire certification for a factory assembled FRP cooling tower. Tower Tech FireStrong cooling towers provide vital cooling for HVAC equipment and industrial facilities. If your cooling tower goes down, the entire facility could stop functioning. Our FireStrong cooling towers are certified by FM Approvals to mitigate potential fire hazards in the most adverse scenarios - even in cases when the normal water flow inside the towers is not in operation. 

Compared to conventional towers, Tower Tech offers significant savings on operations and risk – making them the most durable and efficient cooling towers on the market.
