Inspection of Pultruded Cooling Tower Components
|
Dustin Troutman, Creative Pultrusions, Inc. and Jess Seawell, Composite Cooling Systems, LP
|
2009
|
|
Abstract:
Pultruded profiles dominate the cooling tower market as the material of choice for field erected cooling towers. Pultruded profiles offer many positive attributes. However, unlike the steel, concrete, and wood industry, the pultrusion industry has not matured to the point of having ASCE endorsed design codes and quality requirements. Therefore, the quality control and quality assurance standards are up to the individual pultruder. This paper will discuss the visual and structural quality assurance and quality control programs utilized by Creative Pultrusions, Inc., and Composite Cooling Solutions, L.P., both at the production plant and the construction site to ensure each member satisfies the minimum visual and structural standards.

Due to high incidences of severe weather and hurricanes to the Florida peninsula, the Florida Department of Community Affairs and the International Code Council (ICC) has issued new and improved stringent regulations to the Florida Building Code. This paper will provide an in depth examination of the Florida Building Code and recent declaratory statements issued on how the codes apply to the cooling towers. It will also review the benefits of following the code, how to ensure all parties involved are meeting legal requirements and the responsibilities of the engineer of record, cooling tower manufacturer, building inspectors and owners.
