Original Abstract

Iterson cooling towers make essential part of power station technology. Although cooling towers may appear at first sight that they have similar life span as dams and other monumental constructions, but in reality it is not so. The tower shell is formed by thin-walled reinforced concrete construction, with life span approximately 40 years, but due to negative degradation effects their life span can be shorter. In order to improve life span of the cooling towers for entire power station service-life, their regular inspection and maintenance is required. This paper deals with basic principles of inspection and maintenance methods, completed with pictures of inspections and repair works.
