On 16 January 2026, the technical team from EKG (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd carried out cooling tower re-fiber, lamination works, and a full test run. These works were performed to restore structural integrity, improve surface protection, and ensure the cooling tower could operate safely under normal working conditions.
Cooling tower components made from fibre-reinforced materials are constantly exposed to heat, moisture, chemicals, and UV. Over time, surface degradation, cracks, or delamination can occur. Without timely cooling tower maintenance, these issues may lead to water leakage, reduced structural strength, and higher repair costs.
Re-Fiber Works for Structural Restoration
The re-fiber process focused on repairing worn or damaged fibre sections of the cooling tower structure. Affected areas were cleaned, prepared, and reinforced with new fibre layers to restore strength and durability. This step is essential in extending the service life of cooling tower panels and basins, especially in high-usage commercial environments.
Proper cooling tower re-fiber works help prevent further deterioration while maintaining the original structural performance of the system.
Lamination for Surface Protection
After re-fiber repairs, lamination works were applied to protect the repaired surfaces. Lamination provides an additional protective layer that improves resistance against moisture, chemicals, and environmental exposure. This coating also helps create a smoother surface finish, reducing the risk of future cracks and fibre exposure.
Well-executed cooling tower lamination enhances durability and supports long-term operational reliability.
Test Run and System Verification
Once the repair and lamination works were completed, a full cooling tower test run was conducted. The system was operated under normal conditions to verify structural stability, water tightness, and overall performance. Visual inspections and operational checks confirmed that the cooling tower was functioning correctly without abnormal vibration, leakage, or performance issues.
A proper test run ensures that all repair works are effective and that the cooling tower is ready for continuous operation.
Importance of These Works in Preventive Maintenance
Re-fiber, lamination, and test run activities are critical components of preventive HVAC maintenance. Addressing structural and surface issues early prevents more serious damage, reduces downtime risk, and supports consistent cooling performance.
Proactive cooling tower maintenance helps control long-term operating costs while maintaining system reliability.
Professional Execution
At EKG (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd, all cooling tower re-fiber, lamination, and test run works are carried out with attention to workmanship, safety, and system performance. Each stage is planned to ensure durability, reliability, and continued support for efficient commercial HVAC service operations.
