Abstract

See full text

A method and structure for assembling field erected cooling. A first cell or cell portion is assembled at the opposite end of the cooling basin from its final location and used as a scaffold from which the rest of the structure is assembled. This first “assembly” section is fitted with temporary walkways, safety railings and enclosed ladders and workers assemble each new section of the cooling tower frame from the scaffold affixed to the first section. After assembly of each section or bay of the cooling tower frame is completed, the assembly section is advanced away from the newly constructed section to make room for the assembly of a new section. To advance the assembly section, movable lifts are positioned under the bottom transverse beams of the section.
