Expertise Where It Matters Most
Specialist knowledge in sectors where water compliance is business-critical, regulatory scrutiny is high, and failure is not an option.
Data Centres
Critical Infrastructure Protection
Cooling systems are the lifeblood of data centre operations. Water-related failures can cause catastrophic downtime, asset damage, and reputational harm.
Common Risks & Failure Modes
Cooling tower Legionella risk and compliance failures- Glycol loop contamination and corrosion
- Chilled water system biofilm and efficiency loss
- Fire suppression system integrity concerns
- Regulatory scrutiny during planning and operation
Compliance & Governance Requirements
HSG274 Part 1 compliance for cooling towers- ACOP L8 written scheme and risk assessment
- Continuous monitoring and escalation protocols
- Emergency response and incident management
Typical Engagement
Retained governance with quarterly reviews, annual audits, and 24/7 incident response capability.
Example Outcomes
Healthcare & Hospitals
Patient Safety & Infection Control
Hospitals house the most vulnerable populations. Water safety is directly linked to patient outcomes, infection rates, and regulatory standing.
Common Risks & Failure Modes
- Hospital-acquired Legionella infections
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa in augmented care
- Complex water system configurations
- Multiple stakeholders and unclear accountability
- CQC scrutiny and enforcement action
Compliance & Governance Requirements
- HTM 04-01 compliance framework
- Water Safety Group governance
- Augmented care unit protocols
- Outbreak investigation capability
Typical Engagement
Strategic advisory to Water Safety Groups, compliance gap analysis, and governance framework implementation.
Example Outcomes
Commercial Real Estate
Portfolio-Wide Governance
Commercial property portfolios face fragmented water safety responsibilities across tenants, landlords, and managing agents. Compliance gaps are common.
Common Risks & Failure Modes
- Multi-tenanted responsibility matrix confusion
- Lease-driven compliance ambiguity
- Inconsistent supplier standards
- Reputational risk from tenant incidents
- Asset value impact from compliance failures
Compliance & Governance Requirements
- Landlord/tenant responsibility matrices
- Portfolio-wide compliance frameworks
- Standardised supplier specifications
- Centralised reporting and dashboards
Typical Engagement
Portfolio governance frameworks, supplier rationalisation, and retained compliance oversight.
Example Outcomes
District Energy & Heat Networks
Network-Scale Water Safety
Heat networks and district energy schemes present unique water safety challenges spanning multiple buildings, ownership structures, and operational interfaces.
Common Risks & Failure Modes
- Network-scale Legionella risk
- Interface risks between network and buildings
- Temperature and flow rate compliance
- Multiple operator accountability gaps
- Regulatory framework uncertainty
Compliance & Governance Requirements
- Network-wide risk assessment
- Interface control documentation
- Operational temperature compliance
- Multi-party governance agreements
Typical Engagement
Design stage consultation, commissioning oversight, and operational compliance frameworks.
Example Outcomes
Education
Campus-Wide Compliance
Universities, schools, and colleges must protect students and staff while managing complex, aging estates with limited budgets and competing priorities.
Common Risks & Failure Modes
- Aging infrastructure and dead-legs
- Holiday shutdown Legionella risk
- Decentralised estate management
- Limited technical resource in-house
- Safeguarding and duty of care obligations
Compliance & Governance Requirements
- Estate-wide risk assessments
- Seasonal shutdown protocols
- Remediation prioritisation frameworks
- Governor/board-level reporting
Typical Engagement
Estate compliance audits, remediation planning, and retained governance advisory.
Example Outcomes
Manufacturing
Process Water & Industrial Hygiene
Manufacturing operations depend on water for processes, cooling, and utilities. Compliance failures impact production, worker safety, and regulatory standing.
Common Risks & Failure Modes
- Cooling tower and evaporative condenser risks
- Process water contamination
- Complex multi-system estates
- Worker exposure and occupational health
- Environmental permits and discharge compliance
Compliance & Governance Requirements
- Industrial cooling system compliance
- Process water quality management
- Occupational exposure controls
- Environmental compliance interfaces
Typical Engagement
Site compliance audits, system optimisation, and retained technical oversight.
