Cooling Towers

Wood deteriorates. Steel corrodes. Our fiberglass structural shapes offer the strength of these traditional building materials without the rot, rust or corrosion. It also weighs significantly less, so it’s an excellent alternative for cooling tower construction. And with a life expectancy of up to 50 years, it’s a cost-efficient choice. You can also visit our Featured Projects page to see Bedford materials used in unique ways for a variety of industries.
