Water tank refurbishment
If water systems or cooling towers are left to corrode or dirt and deposits are liable to contaminate the water supply, there is a real risk that bacteria such as legionella will spread unchecked and put your personnel and the public at large in danger. In such circumstances, your organisation or company would be in serious breach of Health and Safety legislation and an almost certain candidate for prosecution.
Often the source of potential problems is the cold water tank itself, which should last a lifetime if cared for and maintained properly. However, even when a tank appears to be due for replacement, it can often be a more cost effective option to refurbish rather than replace. UKES can inspect the tank and the system as a whole and advise you on the best option to take. If you choose refurbishment, our engineers will undertake the complete task on your behalf, including the installation of new linings, coatings, lids, insulation and insect screens.
What the law requires
Every owner of business premises is legally required to ensure that the stored water in their building, for whatever purpose it may be used, is kept in a safe and wholesome condition. The legislation in question is the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 and the Health and Safety at Work Acts and Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations. Failure to effect proper maintenance could also invalidate an organisation’s insurance cover, with severe financial and possibly legal consequences.
