Cooling Tower Audits

A robust management protocol, supported by real data.

In Australia, Victoria is the legislative pioneer in the field of rigorous systems based auditing of cooling towers.   The high standards of legislative requirements existing in Victoria are based on the use of a comprehensive auditing process. This clearly demonstrates that the auditing process will increasingly become the singularly most effective strategy for cooling tower risk management in the 21st Century. In 2018 New South Wales recognised this need with the introduction of similar rigorous legislative requirements.

Our international experience supports our belief in the value of the auditing process as one of the most efficient ways of managing most risks associated with cooling towers. These risks include physical contamination, public health issues, production interruption and the potential legal culpability resulting from these risks.

Cooling tower auditing is based on a simple approach; a well-defined management plan that brings together and documents the associated monitoring and risk management that is in place. This documentation is audited every year to ensure both legislative compliance and operational rigor. Although it sounds simple, it addresses many of the fundamental operational and risk issues associated with cooling towers.

Auditing has many benefits; it can lead to improved system function and management processes to create a more robust system, especially if there are interlocking verifications such as independent microbiology testing and review of corrosion Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s).

Our fully accredited auditors are ready to undertake your cooling tower system audits so that you can be confident in your system health and compliance with legislative requirements.
