Notice Title
Automation of Regional Control (SCADA) - RFP
Notice Description
Thames Water (TW) are seeking a qualified vendor aiming to automate & optimise specific aspects of our Regional SCADA system. Currently, a considerable portion of TW operation relies on manual management by a control room. The primary objective is to conduct a Proof of Concept (POC) for either the Lower Hall B & Woodford hydraulic systems or the entire TW Ring Main. This will allow the control to be optimised, ensuring continued supply of wholesome water, whilst taking into consideration operating strategies to reduce leakage and energy use. It will also remove the risk of any human error.
