LRA Remedial Works at a Residential Care Home in Scotland
Project Brief
A residential care home in Glasgow recently underwent a Legionella Risk Assessment (LRA). While the assessment identified necessary remedial actions, the company that conducted it lacked the plumbing expertise to implement them. The care home management sought assistance from local plumbers, but they expressed concerns about their limited knowledge of Legionella compliance requirements. Recognising the need for specialised intervention, the client engaged Titan Mechanical Services to carry out the necessary remedial works.
Solution
Our full turnkey service included:
-
Comprehensive Remedial Actions: Our team executed a range of Legionella remedial works, including:
-
Removal of dead legs to eliminate stagnant water zones.
-
Installation of Thermostatic Mixing Valves (TMVs) to regulate water temperatures and prevent scalding.
-
Thorough cleaning and disinfection of water storage tanks to eradicate potential bacterial growth.
-
Installation of isolation valves to facilitate future maintenance without system-wide shutdowns.
-
Replacement of flexible hoses with copper pipework to reduce biofilm formation.
-
Re-orientation of expansion vessels to ensure optimal system performance.
-
-
Minimised Disruption: Given the sensitive environment of a care home in 24/7 operation, our team meticulously planned the works to minimise water supply interruptions. Tasks were scheduled during off-peak hours, and temporary water provisions were arranged to ensure resident comfort and safety.
-
Navigating Access Challenges: Working within an occupied care facility required careful coordination. Our engineers liaised closely with the care home staff to schedule works around resident routines, ensuring safety and privacy were maintained throughout the project.
Key Benefits Delivered
-
Complete Task Execution: All identified remedial actions from the LRA were successfully resolved, addressing the previously noted compliance gaps.
