GRP solutions

Early on IWC developed in-house expertise to undertake custom GRP fabrications related to the cooling tower industry e.g. fan rings, slurry cooling towers, distribution launders and troughs, inlet louvers, etc. IWC also undertakes on-site GRP piping repair work as well as corrosion resistant linings.
