Inspecting installations handling substances hazardous to water

As a recognized organization in accordance with the ordinance regulating installations handling substances hazardous to water, we inspect installations in both the commercial and private domains (e.g. heating oil tanks). The inspections are carried out prior to commissioning and, where required, are repeated on a regular basis. This includes not only the classical plant types such as chemical production plants, filling stations or metal processing plants, but also parts of biogas plants affected by the above-mentioned ordinance.

In addition, our experts support client companies in questions of installation-related water conservation. This concerns, for example, fire water retention measures or the preparation of company documents, such as industrial plant cadastral inventories, monitoring, maintenance and emergency response plans, as well as operating instructions.

As an authorized expert centre in accordance with VAwS, we offer specialist companies our support in terms of obtaining and also maintaining certification of suitability as a specialist company in accordance with the ordinance regulating installations handling substances hazardous to water dated 31 March 2010 (formerly, section 19 of the Federal Water Act (WHG)).

Depending on requirements, basic WHG training courses are also conducted in-house or corresponding monitoring activities completed.
