Statutory Compliance Audits

All existing buildings contain hydraulic services, and often the design parameters or maintenance requirements or installation compliance associated with the services is unknown or unquantified to the asset holders or managers that have ownership or oversight.

Verification on the suitability and compliance or operational effectiveness of hydraulic services is routinely provided throughout Sydney, Canberra, and regional NSW to afford stakeholders assurance on the adequacy of their hydraulic systems or notification on hydraulic system operational or installation defects that will impact the longevity, reliability or performance.

• Existing documentation and planning requirements which are reviewed to confirm statutory compliance in regards to Authority sign off approvals, certifications, inspections completed and accuracy of construction documentation to the provided hydraulic system

• Review of maintenance records and repair invoices for plumbing systems to identify unusual or repetitive services that would be indicative of deficient plumbing works to tailor the assessment to the building

• Visual inspection of accessible hydraulic services and plant equipment to establish system configuration and installation compliance

• Assessment of materials incorporated into the hydraulic systems for longevity, material compatibility or compliance with the WaterMark certification scheme

• Assessment on the serviceability or safe accessibility of maintenance appropriate hydraulic systems

• Assessment on piping system gradients to determine flow and self-cleansing capabilities

• Assessment on pump system suitability for installed environments and systems operational requirements

• Temperature testing of heated water delivery systems to establish suitability of circulation temperatures, water delivery temperatures or water delivery delays

• Assessment of gas piping and gas appliances to verify correct system commissioning and suitability without apparent health impact

• Assessment of water supply or water source contamination hazards

• Assessment of reclaimed water storage systems and associated treatment systems.

• Assessment on the adequacy of fire hydrant/fire hose reel water source provisions and system coverage

• Consideration to rainfall catchments and overflow or overland surface flow provisions required to prevent surcharge induced stormwater flooding

• Operational or performace assessment of services to determine if the service and associated plant equipment incorporated is satisfactory for the intended purpose.

• Design capability assessment to determine installation and operational compliance with the relevant design codes and design standards.

• Determination on service compliance with the relevant Australian Standards, Code of Practice, Building Code of Australia, Material Installation Codes, Manufacturers Codes and Applicable Local Council Conditions.
