Kesar Digum

Consulting for New Water Systems

The costliest mistakes in a water system are born at the drawing board. Designing it right from the start - no dead legs, with the correct temperatures and circulation - prevents Legionella and contamination before the system even runs. Kesar Digum guides developers, designers and contractors on contamination control from the design stage, backed by testing at an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory - nationwide.

New Water Systems

Healthy water starts in the design

A well-designed water system rarely invites trouble. Dead legs in the piping, reservoirs cut off from circulation, lukewarm temperatures and unsuitable materials - all of these are set at the design stage, and they are the factors that invite Legionella, biofilm and contamination down the road. Fixing them after construction is expensive, complex and sometimes impossible. Kesar Digum works alongside developers, designers and contractors right at the drawing board: reviewing the design from a contamination-control perspective, recommending measures to prevent Legionella, and defining sampling and monitoring points for the future system.

What's included

What the design guidance covers

Contamination control over your water system, from the drawing to the first sampling at commissioning.

Reviewing the system design

Reviewing the water-system plans from a health perspective - identifying dead legs, blind spots and potential contamination risks.

Designing to prevent Legionella

Recommendations for the right temperatures, circulation and materials, so the system doesn't become a breeding ground for Legionella and biofilm.

Full Details

Building in contamination control

Embedding contamination-control principles into the design, so the system meets regulatory requirements from its very first day of operation.

A sampling plan for a new system

Defining the sampling points and the initial monitoring plan for the system, to certify compliance before occupancy and throughout its operation.

When it's needed

When to bring consulting into the design?

The earlier you bring the consulting in, the cheaper and more effective it is. These are the critical stages:

The early design stage

Reviewing the design before construction is the cheapest way to prevent contamination risks - a change on the drawing costs far less than a change in the wall.

In design

Sensitive buildings and institutions

Hospitals, hotels and high-rise residential buildings with complex water systems demand especially careful design to prevent Legionella.

During the build

Upgrading or replacing a system

Replacing an existing water system or a major upgrade is a chance to correct old design flaws and prevent recurring contamination.

During an upgrade

Before occupancy and startup

Before people move into a new building, a verification sampling confirms the system is clean and safe to use from day one.

Before occupancy
The risk

What does poor design cost?

A design flaw left unaddressed becomes a chronic problem that follows the building throughout its life:

A system that invites Legionella

Dead legs, lukewarm temperatures and poor circulation create ideal breeding conditions for Legionella from the very first day of operation.

Expensive fixes after the fact

Correcting a design flaw after construction means opening walls, replacing piping and shutting down - costing several times more than a change on the drawing.

Developer and contractor liability

A system designed without contamination control exposes the developer and contractor to defects, occupancy delays and liability in the event of illness.
