Ensuring the Smooth and Healthy Operation of Residorm
As we emphasize at every opportunity, we do our best to make life at Residorm as comfortable as possible, offering various opportunities and options to ease the burden on families. However, while doing this, we never compromise on our service quality and safe infrastructure. Since the life, safety, health, and comfort of our students are our guiding principles, we would like to share with you what lies behind our work and the measures we take.
Our natural gas-operated boilers are used for heating both our buildings and hot water. To ensure uninterrupted heating and hot water service, especially during the cold winter months, these boilers undergo regular inspection and maintenance by authorized services every summer.
Before mains water reaches our storage tanks, it passes through sand filters and softening devices, which remove all kinds of sediments and impurities. Thanks to our high-capacity water tanks, we are minimally affected by water cuts. These tanks are emptied, cleaned, and maintained every summer, so that we begin each new academic year with a fresh water supply.
To prevent the formation of Legionella bacteria in hot water pipelines, chemicals are added at regular intervals.
The elevators in our buildings are inspected daily by our technical staff, and their periodic checks and maintenance are carried out monthly by authorized service providers.
Our electronic fire detection systems cover the entire building, with maintenance performed four times a year by the authorized company.
The generators that directly supply power to our buildings and commercial areas are tested weekly by our technical staff and undergo servicing every six months by authorized providers. This prevents power outages in our dormitories. In addition, independent emergency lighting automatically activates in case of any power failure, illuminating corridors and exits for our students.
Each Residorm building is equipped with three fire pumps—one electric, one diesel, and one jockey pump—as well as a water tank reserved exclusively for firefighting. Our fire system is tested monthly, and the fire pumps are also regularly maintained by authorized services.
Across the entire building, more than one hundred CCTV security cameras are in operation and monitored 24/7 by our security staff. The footage is regularly recorded and kept ready to be shared with law enforcement if necessary.
On every floor where students reside and in common areas, multiple hot and cold water dispensers with purification systems are available. Water is transferred to these dispensers from the main purification system located in the boiler room and its storage tank. The main unit of this system consists of a multi-stage filtration process, including a sediment filter, particle filter, UV lamp, and carbon filter. The water reaching the dispensers on each floor then undergoes additional purification through alkaline filters, UV lamps, and sterilization with ozone, ensuring high-quality drinking water. Maintenance of these systems is performed every six months, with necessary filter replacements. Furthermore, samples are regularly taken and tested by authorized laboratories, and the results are posted next to the dispensers.
To monitor and control all these technical and safety systems mentioned above, our authorized technical personnel are on duty 24/7.
Additionally, regular inspections are carried out by external authorities as follows:
- Lightning rod controls and grounding measurements are performed by the Chamber of Electrical Engineers.
- All boilers, tanks, and elevators are inspected by the Chamber of Mechanical Engineers.
- Water tank cleaning and inspections are carried out by the Municipality.
- Legionella and drinking water tests are conducted by the Municipality and the Public Health Institute.
Respectfully presented to the attention of our Students and Parents.
