FM Cooling Tower
Design and Support

Factory Mutual (FM) Approval of cooling towers is a requirement for many applications for risk management and insurance requirements. Obtaining this approval for field erected towers requires working with Factory Mutual to develop an acceptable full scale testing program that meets specific requirements. The upfront strategy involved in developing the testing program is key to the approval process. CTE can assist with the strategy and areas of consideration. Full scale testing is involved and making sure you have a very complete test plan is important due the costs for pursuing approval.
