Instrumentation and Control

Pumping stations and treatment systems cannot properly function without electrical power, as well as control and data acquisition systems. Some facilities require a simplified system, such as an auto-dialer, to alert operations personnel of alarm conditions; other facilities require a computer controlled system to permit the operator remote access to fully control the operational parameters of the system while providing a mechanism for alarm notification (e-mail, fax, cell phone, etc). On one of our storage tank design projects, we designed the full range of alarm and data systems including a SCADA system to permit full remote operation and control of the tank and three pump stations, and two pressure reducing stations.

For the Richmond Commons development project, our project team also designed a computer controlled SCADA system to permit full remote operation, control, and alarm reporting of a well pump facility, booster pump station, and elevated storage tank. A separate SCADA system was also developed for the wastewater treatment and pumping systems associated with Richmond Commons. On other projects, alarm functions generated from various facilities have also been connected to an auto dialer which alerts operations personnel upon activation of an alarm condition.

On another water supply project, our project team designed a computer controlled SCADA system to permit full remote operation, control, and alarm reporting of 25 sanitary sewer pump stations. Many of the foregoing projects also include electrical engineering design services to power each facility under normal conditions, as well emergency transfer to stand by power generators.
