Professional Cooling Tower Design and Engineering
Every industrial site has unique cooling needs. A one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work. Our engineers start with a detailed site assessment before designing a system that delivers the right thermal performance for your process.
We consider:
- Heat load and water flow rate
- Structural layout and available footprint
- Airflow requirements and environmental conditions
- Energy efficiency and water conservation goals
The result is a custom solution that meets your operational and environmental objectives. Our cooling tower manufacturers in South Africa page explains more about our design and production standards.
Cooling Tower Refurbishment and Repair Experts
A full tower replacement isn’t always necessary. Many clients extend the life of their assets through a professional cooling tower refurbishment. Our technicians strip down old or inefficient towers, replacing worn fills, fans, gearboxes, and support structures to restore full performance at a fraction of the cost of a new unit.
Refurbishment is ideal when you’ve got:
- Performance loss due to scaling or corrosion
- Structural wear and leaks
- Outdated mechanical components
- Reduced efficiency or uneven water distribution
We’ve refurbished units for factories in Frankfort, plants in Bloemfontein, and agricultural facilities in Harrismith – each one getting back to optimal cooling performance without the expense of a complete rebuild.
Cooling Tower Maintenance and Servicing
Regular servicing prevents small issues from turning into major breakdowns. Our cooling tower maintenance contractor team offers scheduled maintenance programs for clients across the Free State and neighbouring provinces.
Maintenance typically includes:
- Visual inspection of structure, nozzles, and fan blades
- Cleaning and descaling of fill and drift eliminators
- Lubrication and alignment of fan motors and gearboxes
- Monitoring of water quality and flow rates
We’ll also supply and fit new components where needed, keeping your system compliant, safe, and efficient.

Industrial and GRP Cooling Towers
We supply both field-erected and packaged GRP cooling tower systems across sub-Saharan Africa. These are popular choices for plants that require reliable, low-maintenance operation and resistance to corrosion.
- GRP Cooling Towers: Perfect for coastal or corrosive environments, available in various configurations. See more on GRP cooling towers.
- Field-Erected Cooling Towers: Custom-built on-site for large-scale industrial applications. Learn more about our field-erected cooling tower specialists.
Both options can be tailored for industries like power generation, petrochemical plants, sugar mills, and water treatment facilities.
Spares and Replacement Components
Even the most robust cooling towers need reliable spares to stay operational. We stock a wide selection of parts – fills, fans, drift eliminators, drive shafts, nozzles, and motors – ensuring minimal downtime when maintenance is required.
Visit our cooling tower spares section for details on available components and replacement options. All spares meet industry standards and are compatible with major tower models.

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.
