Municipal Water Systems and Industrial Water Treatment
Our multi-disciplined team of professionals provides consulting, design, control system, and packaged equipment skids for the water and wastewater operations of our industrial, water district, and municipality customers.
PTI’s project portfolio includes a range of engineering and design as well as control and fabricated equipment projects supporting our clients’ water and wastewater operations:
Control panels and remote monitoring SCADA systems
- SCADA-as-a-Service
- Motor Controls
- Variable Frequency Drives
- Electrical systems with generator back-up
- Storage, pump, and metering skids
If you need to store it, treat it, move it, measure it, or watch it from across town, our team can help.
Project Highlight: Municipal Water District SCADA Upgrade
Our project to upgrade the remote monitoring capabilities of a Texas municipal water system to a modern SCADA platform came with its share of challenges. PTI and the town’s stakeholders understood the value of the existing water system assets. The project objective was to create a SCADA system foundation for new developments to accommodate the town’s rapid growth -without breaking the budget and unnecessarily replacing legacy hardware.
Our strategy was to implement a hybrid local control and SCADA monitoring system. We were able to keep most of the existing control system hardware and the existing 900 MHz radio assets and merge them with a modern Cloud-Hosted SCADA platform using cellular SCADA gateways.
The resulting system eliminated the single point of failure surrounding the legacy workstation-based automation software and replaced it with a cloud-hosted SCADA platform that, once implemented, requires little more than periodic user rights management. New projects in the town will utilize cellular SCADA gateways, while the town operators can upgrade their legacy equipment at their convenience.
