Water Cooling Towers: Code of Practice for Structural Design and Construction
Also Known As:
BS 4485-4:1996 is a code of practice that focuses on the structural design and construction of water cooling towers. The standard specifically applies to two types of cooling towers: hyperboloidal shell natural draught towers and mechanical draught towers.
This standard provides guidelines for ensuring the structural integrity and stability of these towers during their design and construction phases. It covers various aspects related to the structural design, such as the choice of materials, load calculations, and stability analysis. The standard emphasizes the importance of ensuring the towers can withstand the various environmental and operational loads they will be subjected to.
Additionally, BS 4485-4:1996 also addresses the construction process of the cooling towers on-site. It includes recommendations for construction techniques, quality control, and inspection procedures to ensure safe and reliable towers are built. The standard aims to promote best practices and provide a comprehensive framework to support the design and construction of water cooling towers.
