Company Introduction
Upton Steel is an established steel stockholder with over 50 years of industry experience, operating nationwide. With a workforce of over 120 employees, the company plays a key role in supplying steel products to a wide range of sectors, requiring reliable operational processes and strong compliance standards.
The Challenge
Following some upgrades to their water system, Upton Steel required a robust management system with a structured, clear process that would give them certainty and continued compliance requirements. SAS Water was recommended to Upton Steel to support them with a management system that provides peace of mind and ensures they are meeting all compliance obligations.
The Solution
SAS Water implemented a structured water hygiene programme tailored to Upton Steel’s operational requirements. The service includes monthly temperature monitoring to maintain safe system conditions, quarterly cleaning and disinfection of outlets and components, and six-monthly tank inspections to support ongoing system integrity.
Annual services are delivered, including Legionella risk assessments, system cleaning and disinfection, water sampling, and TMV servicing to ensure continued compliance with regulatory requirements. Ongoing update works and routine support ensure the system remains effectively managed, with clear documentation provided to support internal checks and audits.
The Outcome
With SAS Water’s support, Upton Steel now benefits from a fully managed and compliant water hygiene system. The structured approach has removed uncertainty and reduced internal workload, allowing the business to focus on core operations.
The company now has confidence that all legal obligations are being met, with a clear system in place to maintain water safety standards.
