Great Lakes Cooling Towers Inc. (GLCTI) is a family-owned Canadian cooling tower contractor built around a simple idea: bring together experienced tradespeople, practical engineering support and quality materials to provide clients with a better way to maintain, repair and rebuild their cooling towers.

Led by a Red Seal carpenter with more than 20 years of cooling tower experience, our team brings decades of combined hands-on knowledge to FRP, package steel and wood cooling towers. From inspections and component replacement to major structural repairs and complete rebuilds, we have the field experience and engineering support to take a project from initial assessment and design through construction and final turnover.

Through our dedicated Canadian structural engineering and specialized thermal and hydraulic engineering support, GLCTI has the resources to develop practical, engineered solutions for both existing towers and complete rebuilds. Our goal is not simply to identify a problem, but to give our clients a clear path to fixing it.

Being family-owned allows us to operate differently. We maintain lean overhead and practical margins, allowing more of a client's budget to go where it belongs: skilled labour, quality materials and the work itself. We aren't interested in maximizing the value of every purchase order. We're interested in building long-term relationships and becoming the company our clients call when their tower needs attention.

Our crews bring extensive hands-on cooling tower experience to the field. Combined with our engineering relationships, this gives GLCTI the ability to handle everything from routine maintenance and inspections to complex repairs, upgrades and complete rebuilds.

Our team has completed cooling tower work throughout Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia, Nova Scotia, Minnesota and Jamaica, supporting facilities in power generation, steel, petroleum, mining, manufacturing and other industrial sectors.

Whether it's a planned outage, an aging tower that needs a long-term repair strategy, a performance issue or an unexpected failure requiring immediate attention, our approach remains the same:

Assess it properly. Engineer it when required. Build it safely. Document it clearly. Stand behind the work.

Experienced in the field. Backed by engineering. Built around the client.
