SCADA System Evaluation and Development of Standards

The City of Norwalk wanted to modernize their SCADA system, establish instrumentation and controls standards throughout their wastewater system, and ensure that all future wastewater treatment projects would easily integrate with this new SCADA system.

Wright-Pierce instrumentation engineers evaluated all of the city's wastewater infrastructure and developed a roadmap for modernizing the SCADA system. After completing the system-wide evaluation Wright-Pierce created a SCADA standards document which established a standardized approach to controls and instrumentation for all future wastewater treatment system projects.

The new SCADA system standards address all aspects of instrumentation and controls design including: design documentation, control theory, integration with the SCADA system, startup, and as-built documentation. The SCADA standards document guides all consultant and contractor work on the wastewater system, including remote system components, to ensure consistency in controls, operations and maintenance, as well as full compatibility and integration of new components.
