Water consultancy services

Water

Our experienced water consultancy team can advise on a wide range of water related issues to help you maintain safe water systems.

Water system inspections are undertaken periodically (typically on an annual basis) by AEC water hygiene engineers. These inspections are carried out primarily to ensure that the key assets in a water system, such as cold water storage tanks and calorifiers, remain in a hygienic condition and free of sediment, scale and biofilm.
