•Case Study: SCADA As A Preventive Maintenance Tool
Granite City, Ill., recently joined the increasing number of municipalities that have invested in Supervisory Control & Data Acquisition (SCADA) technology to more effectively manage their community wastewater systems. Improvements in both the hardware and software have advanced the technology's capabilities far beyond the limits of first-generation control systems that reached market in the 1960s and 70s.
In the case of Granite City, the integrated hardware/software and wireless communications applied to the SCADA controlling the town's 23 lift stations deliver the power, adaptability and ease of use sought to address a number of issues confronting the Public Works Department. Located approximately ten miles from downtown St. Louis, MO on the Illinois side of the Mississippi River, the town's once predominant steel industry became the cornerstone for a now broader industrial base. Many residents also make the daily commute to and from the widely diversified employment opportunities at Missouri-side businesses.
