Enhanced Legionella Monitoring: School Compliance and Safety
Transforming Legionella monitoring and reporting with IoT integration and automated compliance
Project Overview
The Tyrrell Analytics platform, rebranded by Aquaportal, was deployed to transform Legionella monitoring and reporting in educational facilities. This comprehensive implementation addressed critical water safety requirements while streamlining compliance processes and reducing manual workload for facility managers and school staff.
The solution integrated lightweight IoT sensors and cellular gateways with existing building management systems, creating a centralised platform for monitoring, analysis, and automated reporting aligned with HSE's Approved Code of Practice (ACOP L8).
Implementation Process
System Assessment
Existing BMS systems were reviewed to identify deficiencies and integration opportunities
IoT Integration
Lightweight IoT sensors and cellular gateways installed to capture critical data such as water temperatures
Centralised Platform
Secure cloud-hosted monitoring system providing a single point for data collection, processing, and analysis
Custom Analytics
New rules developed to align with HSE's ACOP L8, ensuring compliance and highlighting non-conformities
Site Dashboards
Custom dashboards enabled easy access to real-time data for facility managers and school staff
Automated Reporting
Consistent and detailed reports generated automatically, reducing manual errors and providing actionable insights
Key Features & Benefits
HSE ACOP L8 Compliance
The platform's custom analytics rules were specifically developed to align with HSE's Approved Code of Practice (ACOP L8) for Legionella prevention. This ensures that all monitoring and reporting activities meet regulatory requirements while automatically highlighting any non-conformities that require attention.
Real-Time Monitoring
IoT sensors continuously monitor water temperatures and other critical parameters, providing real-time data through custom dashboards. Facility managers and school staff can access this information instantly, enabling rapid response to any issues that arise.
Automated Reporting
The system generates consistent and detailed reports automatically, significantly reducing manual workload and the risk of errors. These reports provide actionable insights and comprehensive documentation for compliance purposes.
Centralised Data Management
The secure cloud-hosted platform provides a single point for all data collection, processing, and analysis, simplifying management and ensuring data integrity across multiple school sites.
Results & Impact
The implementation of enhanced Legionella monitoring delivered significant benefits:
- Enhanced Safety: Continuous monitoring of water temperatures and other critical parameters ensures early detection of potential Legionella risks
- Regulatory Compliance: Automated compliance with HSE ACOP L8 requirements, reducing the risk of non-compliance and associated penalties
- Reduced Manual Workload: Automated reporting significantly reduces the time and effort required for compliance documentation
- Improved Efficiency: Centralised platform simplifies data management and enables quick access to critical information
- Error Reduction: Automated processes minimise the risk of manual errors in monitoring and reporting
- Proactive Management: Real-time alerts enable facility managers to address issues before they become serious problems
