Drinking water safety: Legionella advice, inspections & installations

Drinking water safety is essential in any building environment, whether in healthcare facilities, schools, offices or housing complexes. As the owner or manager of a building, you are legally obliged to take measures to guarantee the safety of drinking water. SOCOTEC Netherlands supports you in this with a wide range of services, fully in line with the applicable laws and regulations, such as the Drinking Water Decree and NEN 1006.

Our services often start with legionella advice, where we perform risk analyses and draw up a management plan to prevent contamination by legionella. Here we not only look at the current state of your installation, but also give practical advice on possible improvements and required actions.

Then our specialists can inspect the installation and take water samples to actually test the quality of the drinking water. These samples are analyzed in an accredited laboratory so that you have reliable and independent measurement results. Any discrepancies are clearly reported, including recommendations for remediation.

When inspections or advice indicate that the system needs to be modified, we also perform the installation work.
Examples include removing unused pipes, improving the flow or installing check valves and other technical devices that contribute to the safety of the drinking water system.

Through this integral approach - from analysis to execution - we ensure that your building meets the legal requirements and that users can rely on clean and safe drinking water. We take the entire process off your hands, so you can be sure that everything is properly taken care of.
