Water system management
Water systems are an essential part of buildings and industrial environments. At the same time, they can pose a health risk when harmful microorganisms develop within the system.
Bacteria such as Legionella pneumophila, Escherichia coli (E. coli), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa can spread under certain conditions through tap water, faucets, storage tanks, cooling towers, and other water systems. This can lead to health risks for employees, visitors, patients, or residents.
A professional risk analysis forms the basis for a safe, manageable, and compliant water system.
A structured approach
Normec helps organizations identify, assess, and manage risks within water systems. In doing so, we look not only at the technical installation but also at processes, management measures, and documentation.

-
2.
Development of control measures
-
3.
Development of water safety plans
-
4.
Audits of existing water safety programs
-
5.
Operational risk assessment
-
6.
Support with laws and regulations
Based on the risk analysis, we develop a practical management plan to systematically control and mitigate risks.
A demonstrable management system
A risk analysis not only provides insight into potential hazards but also forms the basis for an effective water safety program.
Here’s what this delivers to your organization:
- You gain insight into potential risks within water systems
- You reduce the risk of microbiological contamination
- You better comply with legal obligations
- You have clear control measures and procedures
- You create a safe environment for users of the system
By identifying risks early on, problems can be prevented before they lead to health risks, downtime, or regulatory enforcement.

Normec has extensive experience in water safety, drinking water quality, and microbiological risks within buildings and industrial facilities.
Our specialists support organizations in developing, implementing, and auditing water safety programs. In doing so, we combine technical knowledge of water systems with expertise in regulations, risk management, and water quality.
We provide support in areas such as:
- Legionella risk analyses
- Legionella control plans
- Water Safety Plans
- Water safety audits
- Drinking water management
- Monitoring of Pseudomonas aeruginosa
- Water Quality Programs
Thanks to our integrated approach, risk analysis, management, monitoring, and documentation are seamlessly aligned.
Prepared for water safety requirements
Organizations are increasingly being asked to demonstrate that they manage risks within their water systems and have appropriate control measures in place.
With a professional risk analysis and a well-founded water safety plan, you lay the foundation for sustainable compliance and safe water use. Additionally, you create a structured approach that allows risks to be continuously monitored and managed.
This ensures you are prepared for future legislation, audits, and ever-increasing expectations.
