Drinking Water Is Subject to a Wide Range of Influences

Both during water abstraction and within the distribution network and storage systems, the characteristics and quality of drinking water may be affected. Assessing such influences is therefore not merely a routine task but requires comprehensive knowledge of the waterworks’ catchment area.

Maintaining the desired high standard requires close collaboration with independent institutions conducting regular, professionally performed water analyses.

In the Field for You – Our Sampling Team

We have a highly capable sampling team for drinking water and surface water sampling. Our samplers are professionally trained, flexible, permanently employed staff who are familiar with local conditions. Our sampling procedures are accredited pursuant to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025.
