SCADA Integration in Every Plant

Every water treatment plant we design includes a fully integrated SCADA system as standard. From small mobile units to large fixed installations, our automation solutions ensure reliable operation, compliance assurance, and operational efficiency.

Centralised Control

Single interface for monitoring and controlling all plant processes from any location.

Real-Time Monitoring

Live data visualisation of all critical parameters with instant alerts and notifications.

Data Logging & Reporting

Automated compliance reporting with historical data storage and trend analysis.

Remote Access

Secure VPN connectivity for off-site monitoring and troubleshooting.

Double-Redundant Architecture

For critical applications like tunnelling projects, Reynolds & Bauhm systems feature double-redundant design to ensure zero non-compliance events.

Dual PLC Architecture

Primary and standby PLCs with automatic failover for uninterrupted control.

Dual Sensor Arrays

Redundant pH, turbidity, and flow sensors with cross-validation.

Backup Power Systems

UPS and generator backup ensuring 24/7 operation during power outages.

Failsafe Discharge Control

Automatic diversion of non-compliant water to prevent environmental incidents.

Critical Applications: Tunnelling & Underground Projects

Tunnelling projects demand the highest level of reliability. Our double-redundant SCADA systems ensure discharge compliance is never compromised, even in the event of component failures.

Effluent Quality Assurance

Continuous monitoring of pH, TSS, turbidity, and hydrocarbons with dual-redundant sensors. If primary sensor fails, secondary sensor takes over instantly.

Compliance: Ensures <10 mg/L TSS, <5 NTU, pH 6.5-8.5

Automated Compliance Reporting

Real-time data logging every 15 seconds to MS Excel with automatic report generation for regulatory submissions.

Compliance: Meets Environment Agency discharge consent requirements

Emergency Response System

Automated gas monitoring with emergency shutdown at 20 ppm H2S. Category 0 hardware emergency stops for immediate plant isolation.

Compliance: Compliant with AS 2865 confined space regulations

Remote Expert Support

SCALANCE VPN gateways enable secure remote access for up to 10 concurrent users, allowing expert troubleshooting from anywhere.

Compliance: ASD Essential Eight compliant security

How Double Redundancy Works

Our failsafe design ensures continuous operation and compliance even during component failures.

1

Dual Monitoring

Two independent sensors measure the same parameter

2

Cross-Validation

System compares readings for agreement

3

Failsafe Default

If deviation >0.5 pH, uses safest reading

4

Auto-Diversion

Non-compliant water diverted in <5 seconds
