  • Motor Placement Preference: The client requested that motors be positioned outside the cooling towers to optimize space, maintenance and longevity.
  • Change in Delivery Mode: The original plan included factory-assembled towers, but due to project constraints, the scope was eventually changed to knockdown (KD) delivery.
