A new independent consulting practice specialising in water quality in the built environment of London has been established by Dr Nick Hill BSc MSc MBA (Oxon) PhD DIC CBiol MSB FIHEEM (see also pages 29-35), chair of IHEEM’s Water Technical Platform.
Water Quality London will serve those with interests in the major property portfolios of the capital, whether public or private, ‘wherever possible with simplicity, clarity, independence, brevity, defensibility and efficiency’. Dr Hill said: “Our purpose is to provide ideas and answers, based on risk and cost, for the effective, efficient management of water quality within buildings. The debunking of myths is particularly important.”
‘Awkward questions’ from clients that Dr Hill has resolved include:
“We’ve got black blobs/brown string/feathers coming out of our taps. Why? What shall we do?”
“Our laboratory results show Pseudomonas aeruginosa counts so high that we must shut down the unit, but our client’s laboratory reports are negative. Who is correct?”
Water Quality London will offer Authorising Engineer (Water), auditing, cooling tower risk assessments, water safety plans, troubleshooting, and expert witness and training services.
