Case Study 1 of 2
What Tata Steel Said
"I hadn’t used Watermiser previously but found them to be very professional, efficient and competitive. I understand Watermiser has 30 years experience of designing and installing this type of cooling system and it showed. Their fully trained designers, managers and service engineers did a first class job. Watermiser provided all drawings and documentation on completion which rounded off an enjoyable and successful project."
Craig Leather
Project Engineer (Pipe Services)Our Client
Tata Steel is one of the world’s most geographically diversified steel producers, with bases in over 50 countries. Tata Steel Europe, formerly Corus Group, is the second largest steelmaker in Europe. Over the years Watermiser has won various contracts for Corus and continues to regularly supply servicing and spares to Tata.
Project Details
Watermiser contributed to the 2012 multi-million pound improvement scheme at the plate surface treatment plant at Clydebridge, Glasgow. Alongside the servicing of existing cooling cells previously installed by Watermiser, an additional cooling circuit was installed during a tight shutdown period.
The cooling circuit, which is critical to maintaining quench water temperatures and therefore directly affecting production, was completed on time and in budget. The circuit was jointly designed and consisted of pumps, cooling cells, valves, pipework, platforms and instrumentation which had to be tied into an existing cooling system.Do you want to

Case Study 2 of 2
What Vallourec Said
"This job presented us with a number challenges from start to finish, but especially at the installation stage, which had to be carried out in very difficult working conditions, including the weather and surrounding ground. However the attention to detail shown by our installation team in these conditions was exemplary, with everything carried out exactly as requested by our Contracts Manager and, more importantly, our client. The quality of the end product and the flexible manner shown by the whole Watermiser team led to some very high praise from our client, who advised “Watermiser will be our first port of call for future work to our cooling system."

Senior Manager
Watermiser LtdOur Client
Vallourec Mannesmann Oil & Gas UK Ltd is the largest UK based manufacturer and supplier of Oilfield Country Tubular Goods (OCTG) to the North Sea oil and gas industry. With its commercial headquarters in Aberdeen, Watermiser supplied cooling towers to Vallourec’s Bellshill plant in 1975 and more recently completed a substantial programme of works.
Project Details
The large structural steel and timber cooling towers onsite at Bellshill were originally fitted with timber slats at the air intake areas. Overtime these had become damaged, allowing direct sunlight into the tower basetank, meaning the towers did not comply with the Health & Safety Commission’s Guidelines L8. Vallourec appointed Watermiser to supply and install new air inlet elements to the towers, including housing. The new PVC air inlet louvers we installed ensured direct sunlight entering the basetank was greatly reduced, while also significantly reducing the effects of windage and the amount of water spray which could escape through the sides of the tower.
