About EPSCO
EPSCO was founded in 1992 with a commitment to delivering the highest possible standards in water system cleanliness and performance. With an initial focus on the water industry in Scotland, we have diversified our service offering and capabilities over the years to take in water systems from across a wide and varied range of industry sectors. Our clients operate in some of the most challenging industrial environments where water safety is vital to occupational health, compliance and productivity. At EPSCO we recognise these challenges, the effectiveness and speed of the solutions we deliver are unique to the sectors in which we operate. Through a combination of innovative techniques and highly trained staff we are able to identify and eliminate key issues associated with industrial and potable water systems.
Service Delivery
Our services are underpinned by a detailed knowledge of water systems and a chemical cleaning methodology which delivers a level of system cleanliness previously considered unattainable. The results of our work are consistently verified by scientific analysis and applied performance monitoring.
Through bases in Perth UK, Stavanger Norway and Las Palmas in the Canary Islands, EPSCO operates mobile equipment units and project teams, providing a European wide service with short lead times. All work is overseen by dedicated project managers who co-ordinate teams of highly trained and safety conscious operatives, delivering projects to an exacting standard.
Culture
EPSCO, is extremely diverse in the various operational and support tasks we undertake and the wide range of skills individuals need to enable us to achieve our aims. What holds these operations together and makes them part of a single entity is the company’s strong corporate culture. A culture which promotes innovation and continuous improvement. How can we do what we did today, better tomorrow?
Quality
EPSCO prides itself on delivering the highest standards of quality goods and services. This is backed up by our ISO9001 accreditation which we achieved and have maintained since 2009, transitioning to the 9001:2015 standard in 2018.
Continuous improvement is one of our core values. EPSCO will never settle for the status quo. We constantly look to develop our goods services not only to improve customer experience but also focus on positive environmental changes.
EPSCO instils the ethos to all its staff; “customer first” and “quality is king” and this is a key element of our Quality Policy.

EPSCO puts Health and Safety at the core of our business. We are certified to ISO45001:2018 after our successful migration in 2021.
We aim to provide and maintain safe and healthy working conditions for all employees and ensure clients and third parties are not adversely affected by our activities. This includes, but is not limited to, risk assessments, methods statements, safe systems of work and extensive internal and external training for our personnel.
Our motto is: “At EPSCO our work is never so urgent or important that we cannot take time to do it safely and in an environmentally prudent manner.”

Environment
EPSCO has environmental performance inherent in the very nature of its work. We believe this should begin with our own premises and therefore we are constantly striving to improve efficiencies and reduce our carbon footprint. It is no surprise then that we are certified to ISO 14001:2015 standard.
Using a range of specifically engineered chemicals we provide our clients with an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional toxic substances at a time where environmental awareness and responsibility is more important than ever!
EPSCO are committed to maintaining and continually improving the environment, and our own environmental performance. Therefore, we have set procedures that examine and control any possible adverse impact on the wider environment resulting from our daily work activities.

System Design
EPSCO has invaluable experience of managing water systems in many different environments. This knowledge helps clients identify potential issues in the design phase and modify in-service assets to resolve operational issues.
Operation
Operational controls play a vital role in maintaining good quality potable water. EPSCO provides solutions and advice for the routine operation and maintenance of systems which should be incorporated into a potable water management scheme to ensure a safe and uninterrupted supply.
