WINT urges construction industry to tighten up water management processes amid UK JCoP regulation
As the UK construction industry braces itself for the new Joint Code of Practice (JCoP) for Escape of Water Prevention and Management, WINT Water Intelligence, a leader in AI-powered water management solutions, is stepping in to help businesses with their water risk management.
With the new regulation now published by the Fire Protection Association (FPA) and endorsed by the Construction Insurance Risk Engineers Group (CIREG), London Engineering Group (LEG), and the Chartered Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineering (CIPHE)–contractors will need to adopt stricter measures to prevent costly water damage, including improved water system monitoring and management throughout the construction lifecycle. The new water management standard enforces Mandatory Water Systems Management Plans, Active Automatic Flow Monitoring Shutoff (AAFMS), and coverage for temporary and permanent water systems. Equally, many insurers will require compliance with JCoP guidelines to provide coverage.
