Water Pipeline Infrastructure - PLC & SCADA Upgrades
Implementation began in mid 1960 for the BMA water network which has grown to over 700km of pipeline across 21 different sites with 37 pumps, 21 water storage reservoirs and multiple control valves. These pipelines provide water via multiple offtake points to a number of BMA and Bowen Basin Community stakeholders. There are 5 pipelines that make up BMA IAM water network which are Eungella, Bingegang, Selma, Bedford West and Bedford East pipelines. The purpose of the upgrade was to standardise the Citect SCADA projects, the PLC code and have one central point of information while still maintaining local client access.
