Among these, the hyperbolic cooling tower configuration is the most widely used due to its structural efficiency and superior airflow characteristics. The increasing height and mass of these towers introduce complex load behaviors and design challenges, making advanced analysis and construction methods essential. This paper provides an overview of the development of cooling tower technology, highlighting recent innovations in design, simulation, and construction practices, as well as the difficulties commonly encountered during implementation.Recent advances in formwork systems have enabled the casting of larger structural elements in a single operation, significantly improving productivity, quality, and cost-effectiveness compared to traditional techniques. This study presents a comparative evaluation of conventional formwork and modern jump formwork methods, emphasizing their suitability for hyperbolic NDCT construction. Particular attention is given to the identification and mitigation of risks associated with material handling and work on temporary platforms, areas that contribute to a substantial proportion of workplace incidents. The findings aim to support the development of safer and more efficient construction practices in the NDCT sector</span></p>
