Background
This iconic London venue, globally recognised for its world-class performances in dance and the performing arts, is just as committed to excellence behind the curtain as it is on stage. With the wellbeing of staff, performers, and visitors a top priority, its management team maintains a proactive approach to building safety,including rigorous water hygiene practices.
The Challenge
As part of routine monthly sampling, isolated but systemic Legionella activity was detected. The findings demanded an immediate yet discreet solution to safeguard all building users.
With varying occupancy levels tied to performance schedules, ensuring consistent water movement across the estate added complexity. The solution needed to be adaptable, low-impact, and aligned with the theatre’s high standards and operational tempo.
The Solution
Following an in-depth site review, the Genox secondary disinfection system was chosen. It provides robust, continuous protection by generating hypochlorous acid (HOCl) using only salt, water, and electricity, removing the need for hazardous chemical drums or disruptive interventions.
Implementation Highlights:
- Genox installed to support secondary disinfection across the estate
- Integrated with existing infrastructure,no invasive works required
- Close coordination with the facilities team to encourage regular water use and enhance system effectiveness
- Adaptable to variable demand patterns typical of live venues
Value Added
- Strengthened the theatre’s compliance framework for water safety
- Enhanced protection for all performers, staff, and guests
- Maintained performance schedules,no downtime, no disruption
- Reinforced the venue’s reputation for operational excellence and proactive risk management
This successful project demonstrates how Genox supports high-profile, complex environments where health, safety, and continuity must go hand in hand.
