Temporary Legionella Control Through Constant Dosing
Problem
A building housing an important team could not be shut down when there was a legionella outbreak. Kirkee was tasked with finding a solution whilst plans were made to mechanically engineer out the problems in the building.

Solution
Kirkee provided a timely and effective solution for a client facing a legionella outbreak in a building that could not be shut down. To address the immediate threat, we implemented an out-of-hours disinfection program to bring the situation under control.
Recognising the need for a long-term solution, we installed a hydrogen peroxide dosing system. This unit delivered safe levels of hydrogen peroxide into the water supply, preventing further legionella growth and maintaining a safe environment for building occupants.
While planning for more invasive remedial actions was underway, the hydrogen peroxide dosing system proved invaluable in keeping the situation under control and allowing the building to remain operational. This rental solution is particularly well-suited for buildings like care homes that cannot be easily evacuated.
Kirkee 's ability to provide rapid and effective solutions for legionella outbreaks, even in challenging circumstances, demonstrates our commitment to protecting public health and safety.
