Expansion of 4 Operating Plantsal Compliance Audit
- Water Treatment Plants: Mount Crosby, North Pine, Landers Shute, Image Flat
- Process Control Improvement
- Control System - Siemens S7/Honeywell Experion, Siemens S7/ClearSCADA, Schneider M340
Over a three year period, Mipac has undertaken control systems upgrades/expansions to four water treatment plants owned and operated by Seqwater. Each of these plants received a process upgrade with new water treatment process equipment and requiring additional control systems and integration/upgrades with existing operating control systems and operator SCADA interfaces.
Each plant processed a significant portion of Brisbane’s potable water supply and as such, commissioning and cutover was undertaken with a high level of attention to process to ensure no impact to Brisbane’s water supply production
Project scope
- Develop and verify functional descriptions for new process equipment
- Hardware selection and procurement
- Attend CHAZOPs and integrate outcomes with functional descriptions
- Configuration, hardware and communications FAT (Factory Acceptance Test)
- Site commissioning and SAT (Site Acceptance Testing)
- Detailed documentation to meet new evolving SEQ Water requirements
Project highlights
- All cutovers were undertaken within the planned/scheduled time with no impact on Brisbane's water production/supply
- Working with the many stakeholders involved in the project to ensure commissioning and cutovers were seamless
