An alternative to cooling towers, cooling ponds feed cool water to industrial facilities such as power plants, paper mills, petroleum refineries, and steels mills. Though man-made, these channels and ponds need lining or embankment protection just like any other pond.
A HYDROTEX fabric-formed concrete mat is the top solution for these use cases, providing a permanent lining that will require minimal upkeep. Give our engineers a call for a free quote and consultation.
How is HYDROTEX used at cooling ponds and channels?
The Problem
Cooling channels and ponds play a critical role at coal-fired power plants and other industrial facilities, storing cooling water to transfer heat and keep processes as efficient as possible. However, unwanted vegetation can cause the water to lose velocity and to therefore stop cooling as efficiently, putting the plant at risk of overheating.
The Solution: HYDROTEX Fabric Forms for the In-Situ Casting of Concrete
Protect cooling ponds and channels with a HYDROTEX fabric-formed concrete mattress that will stunt vegetative growth, allowing for the efficient transport of water. The mattress will also protect the pond from embankment erosion, saving millions in maintenance costs.
Best HYDROTEX Fabric Forms for Erosion Control at Cooling Ponds
HYDROTEX® Filter Point
Need an erosion control solution that provides hydrostatic pressure relief? Choose HYDROTEX Filter Point. Simply place the fabric panels on the sides and bottom of your cooling pond or channel, then pump with fine aggregate concrete. The result is a concrete lining that ensures high efficiency of water flow while preventing embankment erosion.
HYDROTEX® Filter Band® Concrete Mattress
Need a greater reduction of flow velocity and wave run-up at a cooling channel? Opt for Filter Band fabric formworks (fabriform) to cast a permeable concrete lining. Instead of permeable fabric points, Filter Band is comprised of permeable bands, relieving hydrostatic pressure while permitting a lower flow velocity.
HYDROTEX® Uniform Section
Many times, a project owner will want an impermeable solution to protect their cooling pond or channel against erosion. HYDROTEX Uniform Section is the product for such a use case. The direct alternative to concrete slope paving, the Uniform Section panels are pumped with fine aggregate concrete, creating an inflexible concrete mattress with a relatively constant cross section.
