Expert Cooling Tower Installations That Last
Installing a new system isn’t just about setting up equipment. It’s about designing a cooling process that suits your plant’s needs. Our new cooling towers are engineered to perform in tough African conditions, built from high-grade materials that resist corrosion and wear.
Each project starts with a site inspection and design discussion. We assess heat loads, space limitations, and water conditions before recommending the right tower design, whether a GRP model for smaller plants or a field-erected tower for larger industrial applications.
You’ll find our systems hard at work across the Eastern Cape, handling everything from brewery chillers to energy recovery systems at factories and processing plants.
Cooling Tower Refurbishment and Upgrades
Old doesn’t have to mean obsolete. Many clients come to us when their cooling towers are still operational but struggling to perform. A professional cooling tower refurbishment can restore lost efficiency, improve heat transfer, and extend the life of your system without a full rebuild.
A refurbishment might include:
- Replacing corroded structural elements or panels
- Installing new fills, drift eliminators, and spray systems
- Upgrading gearboxes, motors, and drive shafts
- Recoating or replacing basins and fan stacks
Whether it’s an industrial site in Uitenhage or a food production plant in East London, we’ve helped clients reduce energy use and restore cooling performance through cost-effective refurbishment.
Cooling Tower Maintenance and Regular Servicing
Every cooling tower performs best with consistent care. Over time, scale, dirt, and mineral deposits can reduce efficiency, which is why regular cooling tower maintenance is critical.
Our technicians follow a detailed maintenance routine, including:
- Inspection and cleaning of fills, drift eliminators, and louvers
- Pump, fan, and gearbox lubrication
- Basin cleaning and water flow balancing
- Vibration analysis and motor alignment
We also carry out corrosion prevention and condition monitoring, helping identify potential issues before they become major repairs. It’s a service approach that saves money, extends equipment life, and maintains safe operating conditions for your staff and machinery.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) – Cooling Towers by Lekwa Cooling Tower Services
Cooling tower maintenance is crucial to ensure the efficient and reliable operation of the cooling system. It helps prevent issues such as scaling, corrosion, and biological growth, which can compromise performance and lead to costly repairs.
The frequency of cooling tower maintenance depends on factors such as the type of cooling tower, environmental conditions, and usage. However, as a general guideline, regular preventative maintenance should be performed at least twice a year.
Cleaning involves the removal of debris, scale, and biological growth from various components such as water distribution piping, sprayers, drift eliminators, air inlet louvres, and fill. This ensures optimal heat exchange and prevents blockages.
Mechanical services may include the refurbishment or replacement of impellers, electric motors, gearboxes, shafts, and v-belts. These components are critical for the mechanical functioning of the cooling tower.
Many cooling towers have components made of glass reinforced plastic (GRP). Repairing and maintaining these components are essential to preserving the structural integrity of the cooling tower and preventing issues like leaks.
Signs of potential issues include reduced heat exchange efficiency, unusual noises, visible corrosion, or increased water consumption. If any of these signs are observed, it is advisable to schedule maintenance promptly.
