Pipe Cleaning, Disinfection, and Air Quality for Shipyards

Pipe cleaning and disinfection at shipyards are our day-to-day business. Schedules are tight during the shipyard construction window; we integrate ourselves into your construction planning, coordinate with the construction management team, and meet deadlines: Disinfection of drinking water systems in new construction, pipe and ventilation cleaning during refits, and sampling and acceptance documentation prior to delivery. From Emden to Wolgast—for over 30 years.

What We Do for Shipyards

From new construction to refits, we handle the water and air distribution systems on board, ensuring they are scheduled to fit within the shipyard’s timeline and documented so they’re ready for handover. We cover four areas:

Initial Disinfection & Commissioning

Disinfection of new drinking water systems in accordance with DVGW and EN ISO 15748, including sampling and approval in time for delivery.

Refit: Piping & System Cleaning

Rust removal, descaling, and biofouling removal using proprietary methods that do not require disassembly and fit within the time frame.

Ventilation System Cleaning & VDI 6032

HVAC systems, air ducts, and galley exhaust, including a hygiene inspection, with clearly defined preliminary work to be performed by the shipyard.

Sampling & Laboratory Analysis

Water and hygiene samples with accredited analysis, documentation for classification and for the client.

On Schedule All the Way Through Delivery

We know the rhythm

Over 30 years of experience working in shipyards in northern Germany. We know what construction management, the crew, and classification societies need, and we meet deadlines because our processes are designed to operate while the equipment is installed.

We document everything

Findings, execution, sampling, approval: all plotted and ready to be added to your project file.

We're available on short notice

Decentralized teams in Lower Saxony, Schleswig-Holstein, and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania—even if something suddenly catches their eye at the dock.

We have undergone security screening

All employees have passed the Ü2 security clearance (MAD). This is a clear advantage for the construction and refit of naval and government vessels at the shipyard.

Frequently Asked Questions

How early should we involve you in a project?

Ideally, during the planning phase. That way, inspection hatches and access points can be incorporated into the design, and cleaning becomes more cost-effective. Nevertheless, last-minute jobs are part of our daily routine.

A clearly defined list: media connections, accessibility, and, if necessary, a ceiling installer for panels. Everything is outlined in our preliminary work documents: no hidden requirements.

Yes, that's the usual procedure. We only close off the sections we're working on and coordinate with the construction manager on a daily basis.

After an endoscopic examination, we give you an honest assessment of the situation, including photographic documentation to help everyone involved make an informed decision.
