Legionella bacteria are common in nature and can be found in low numbers in soil, surface waters, rivers and ponds. They can easily enter and colonise man-made environments such as hot and cold water distribution systems and evaporative cooling systems where they are able to multiply at temperatures between 20˚C and 45˚C in biofilm, stagnant water and areas containing dirt, sludge or scale.
To provide guaranteed quality to you, we are members of the Legionella Control Association (LCA) and have an established integrated management system incorporating UKAS accreditation and WRAS approval for many of our services and products.
Legionella Risk Assessments
SOCOTEC’s water safety team comprises of experienced and independent risk assessors, providing UKAS accredited Legionella risk assessment (No. 6123) on all aspects of the water system management, design, installation, condition, operation and usage. Following completion of the risk assessment, a comprehensive report is provided, which provides you with prioritised risk rated recommendations on the most suitable course of action to manage and minimise the risk.
