Automation of Regional Control (SCADA)
Authority: THAMES WATER UTILITIES LIMITED
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThames Water (TW) are seeking to appoint a qualified bidder to automate and optimise specific aspects of our Regional SCADA system.
Currently, a considerable portion of the TW operation relies on manual management by a control room. The primary objective of this sourcing event is to conduct one or two Proof of Concept (POC) for hydraulic systems located in North East London; Coppermills and Lower Hall B Water Treatment Works.
This will allow the control to be optimised, ensuring continued supply of wholesome water, whilst taking into consideration operating strategies to reduce leakage and energy use. It will also remove the risk of any human error.
Subject to a successful POC, TW may decide to roll out the solution to other hydraulic systems across the estate. The roll out will be organised in sequence by five specific geographic areas; North East London (the POC), Ring Main, North West London, South London, and Thames Valley.
