A phased implementation strategy
A progressive design-build approach aligned four phases with annual budgets while maintaining operations.
Practices
Delivering resilience and operational efficiency
Pearland's aging SCADA system lacked effective remote control and monitoring, leading to maintenance challenges and troubleshooting struggles. A new city-wide SCADA platform replaced the outdated infrastructure, integrating remote alarms and automated reporting software and boosting automation standards.
Virtualized redundant architecture
Site architecture was replaced with redundant virtualization, guaranteeing data collection even during disruptions.
Standardized platforms
Facility-wide consistent standards and human-machine interfaces were established with remote alarms and automatic reporting.
Custom control panel fabrication
In-house fabrication gave design flexibility, controlled costs, boosted quality, and reduced risk of project delays.
Pearland's once-outdated SCADA system has transformed into a streamlined solution that supports operations and the region's growing needs. Thanks to close client collaboration and engagement via workshops and technical meetings, project teams were able to introduce site-specific solutions without long negotiations or delays.
