THE PROBLEM
You Cannot Manage What You Do Not Measure.
Cooling towers are the #1 source of Legionnaires’ disease outbreaks. Under ASHRAE 188, facility owners are responsible for minimizing this risk. Ignorance is not a legal defense.
If you have high drift, visible slime (biofilm), or rising approach temps, your system is a biological reactor waiting to happen.
OUR TESTING CAPABILITIES
Two-Stage Verification Strategy
On-Site Rapid Response
(25 Minutes):
We deploy a rapid lateral flow test on the roof.
Benefit: Immediate “Go/No-Go” decision making. If you are positive, we start remediation today, not next week.
CDC-Elite Lab Validation
(4 Days):
We partner with Eurofins (CDC-Elite Certified) for culture testing.
Benefit: Provides the “Chain of Custody” and legal documentation required for your Water Management Plan.
REMEDIATION PROTOCOL
Emergency Remediation & Disinfection
Wrong packing kills efficiency. We don’t just dump in generic plastic. We source and install the exact media specification for your scrubber model:
Step 1: Chemical Disinfection: We execute a hyper-chlorination cycle (or relevant biocide shock) to kill free-floating bacteria immediately.
Step 2: Mechanical Restoration: Chemicals alone cannot penetrate thick biofilm or calcified scale. We physically remove the sludge and scale where bacteria hide.
Step 3: Verification: We re-test post-cleaning to prove the system is safe to bring back online.
WHY WSC?
Compliance is Our Core Competency
Ed Sawicki Oversight: Our Legionella protocols are reviewed by a former Corporate Safety Director, ensuring your facility meets the highest EHS standards.
Documentation: You receive a full "End of Job" report including test results, chain of custody, and proof of remediation for your auditors.
