OBR Cooling Towers Featured in the Summer 2026 CTI Journal
At OBR Cooling Towers, we believe sharing technical knowledge helps strengthen our industry and supports better decision making for facility owners, engineers, and maintenance professionals.
We are proud to announce that members of our engineering team were featured in the Summer 2026 Cooling Technology Institute (CTI) Journal with the publication of their technical paper:
Post-Failure Evaluation of Wood-to-FRP Conversion of a Crossflow Cooling Tower
Technical Paper Authors
Originally published in the Summer 2026 Cooling Technology Institute (CTI) Journal, this paper examines the engineering findings from a post-failure evaluation of a crossflow cooling tower and discusses important considerations when converting cooling tower structures from wood to fiberglass reinforced polymer (FRP).
The publication reflects OBR's commitment to engineering excellence, practical field experience, and helping facility owners make informed decisions about cooling tower reliability, repair strategies, and long-term asset performance.
