What We Offer

At OBR, we go beyond basic service. Our cooling tower maintenance solutions are structured to help you avoid failures, pass inspections, and operate at peak thermal efficiency.

Cooling Tower Inspections

Get ahead of issues before they become emergencies.

Our in-depth inspections help you stay proactive, not reactive. By identifying performance bottlenecks, mechanical wear, or biological buildup early, you reduce risk and improve uptime.

 Inspection services include:

  • Full evaluation of tower structure, fill, basin, and casing
  • Mechanical check of fans, gearboxes, motors, belts, and driveshafts
  • Contaminant detection: scale, biofilm, and algae
  • Drift eliminator and distribution system performance review
  • Optional vibration logging to track wear over time
  • Full service report with condition ratings and repair recommendations

Cleaning & Decontamination

Protect performance, reduce risk, and stay compliant.

Over time, cooling towers become breeding grounds for contaminants that reduce heat exchange efficiency and increase health risks. Our cleaning process ensures biological control and performance recovery, in line with OSHA and CDC recommendations.

What our process includes:

  • Pre-treatment hyper-halogenation for biological control
  • Debris removal from basin and mechanical surfaces
  • Pressure washing fill, louvers, and fan cylinders
  • Post-cleaning disinfection and surfactant application
  • Certified cleaning documentation for water safety audits and CMS/Joint Commission compliance

Preventive Maintenance

Prevent unexpected breakdowns and reduce long-term costs.

Scheduled maintenance can significantly extend the lifespan of your cooling tower and prevent mechanical failures. Our preventive services are tailored to the make and model of your system and can be bundled with your cleaning for greater value.

Included in our Preventive Maintenance program:

  • Oil changes and belt replacements
  • Gear shaft and fan alignment
  • Fan pitch and blade length measurement and tuning
  • Mechanical tuning and equipment health checks
  • Maintenance reporting and future repair planning
  • Scheduling options to reduce operational disruption

Cooling Tower Vibration Logging

Monitor your tower’s health by logging vibration levels.

Vibration is energy within a system, and with the energy involved in regular cooling tower operation, vibration will always be present. Logging a tower’s vibration levels during regular service visits will create a history of that tower’s health, which will aid in earlier detection of issues like mechanical equipment degredation and allow for those issues to be mitigated before they become catastrophic.  

Vibration logging is another tool in our service and maintenence offerings that allows us to provide the fullest possible picture of your tower’s health. It can be performed as its own scope, or bundled with the other offerings in our service package.
