Legionella & Microbiological Sampling 

In addition to Legionella, Lucion provides microbiological sampling services for pseudomonas, TVC (total viable count) at 22°C and 37°C, E.coli, and coliforms. This comprehensive approach ensures compliance with Water Supply (Water Quality) regulations, addressing various potential risks to water safety.

Samples are promptly transported to a UKAS accredited laboratory under optimal conditions. Following the 48-hour analysis period, our experts interpret the results. If readings exceed 100cfu (colony forming units), our Legionella consultants provide recommendations for necessary actions, ensuring a proactive response.

Legionella sampling collects detailed information crucial for accurate result interpretation. This includes the location, temperature, time of sampling, and whether it’s a pre or post flush sample. These specifics enhance the understanding of potential risks within the water system.

Our Legionella Consultants collaborate with you to develop a customised sampling plan. This plan covers aspects like pre flush and post flush scenarios, ensuring a thorough and comprehensive assessment tailored to the specific needs of the water system in question.

Legionella sampling is necessary in various scenarios, including buildings with high-risk occupants, instances identified during risk assessments, non-conformances during routine monitoring, and suspected outbreaks of Legionnaires’ disease. Our team impartially assesses each situation to determine the need for sampling.

Microbiological sampling, including Legionella sampling, is essential to obtain accurate insights into water system safety. It helps identify potential hazards, ensuring compliance with regulations and effective risk management.

Lucion stands out through Legionella Control Association membership, regular audits, and a commitment to impartiality. Our focus is on providing objective, high-quality Legionella risk management solutions for your organisation.

We strictly adhere to regulations, including ACOP L8 (2013), HSG 274, BS 8580-1:2019, and HTM 04-01. Our impartial approach ensures your Legionella risk management aligns objectively with these essential guidelines.

Legionella, transmitted via water droplets, thrives in specific conditions, including temperatures of 20-45°C, inadequately designed water systems, and contamination.

Our assessments are impartial and cover a diverse range of structures, identifying and addressing risks impartially.

We go beyond assessments, offering planned maintenance tasks, Legionella sampling, and utilising NexGen, our proprietary compliance software, available for our clients. Our impartial approach focuses on comprehensive risk management.

An impartial assessment, like the ones provided by Lucion, ensures unbiased evaluation of your water systems. Compliance with industry standards and regulations is prioritised to mitigate Legionella risks effectively.

Legionnaires’ disease, a deadly pneumonia, poses a significant threat, affecting vulnerable individuals.

A Legionella risk assessment is mandated by regulations such as ACOP L8 and HSG 274 to ensure the safety of occupants. It’s a legal requirement for duty holders to identify and manage potential Legionella risks in water systems.

Legionella is a type of bacteria that can cause a severe form of pneumonia known as Legionnaires’ disease. It thrives in warm, stagnant water and can be transmitted through inhaled water droplets. Legionella poses a significant health risk, especially to individuals with weakened immune systems, respiratory issues, and the elderly.
