Clients

We provide comprehensive turnkey services to hospitals, hotels and senior housing communities as well as to commercial and industrial properties and educational institutions. Our clients’ facilities range in size from small, independently owned nursing homes to large, multi-campus academic healthcare systems to Class-A skyscrapers. Each facility presents a unique set of challenges; each requires a unique approach. Our equipment, technology and processes are modular and can be configured to meet facility-specific requirements. This allows all of the clients we serve to realize the full benefits of our systematic, multi-disciplinary, science-based methodology. 

Hospitals

Hospitals typically have extensive potable water systems with a wide range of water use end points. In older hospitals, plumbing systems often have evolved over many years, with periodic expansion and renovation. True “as-built” plumbing drawings are rare, and risers are frequently out of balance. Scalding limitations make it difficult to maintain temperatures needed for microbial control at patient-accessible taps. And areas dedicated to care of especially vulnerable patients may require special precautions.

Nursing Homes

Scalding limitations make it difficult to maintain temperatures needed for microbial control at patient-accessible taps. And the population served—the elderly and others requiring nursing care—are especially vulnerable to infection by plumbing-associated waterborne pathogens, such as Legionella. 

Senior Housing Communities

The population served by senior housing communities—the elderly—are especially vulnerable to infection by plumbing-associated waterborne pathogens, such as Legionella. Inconsistent water usage owing to variations in occupancy can result in conditions that support microbial growth.

Hotels

Fluctuations in occupancy can affect water use patterns, resulting in conditions that support microbial growth. The extensive presence of showers, which are sources of aerosols, increases the potential for transmission and inhalation of waterborne pathogens.

Schools

Fluctuations in occupancy can affect water use patterns, resulting in conditions that support microbial growth. The presence of gym showers, which are sources of aerosols, increases the potential for transmission and inhalation of waterborne pathogens.

Office Buildings

Tenant-made changes to plumbing, such as the addition of showers, can disrupt water distribution and usage patterns, resulting in conditions that support microbial growth. Inconsistent water usage owing to variations in occupancy also can result in conditions that support microbial growth.
