Case Study: Anne Arundel County, Maryland
WRA worked with the Department of Public Works in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, to complete a design for the upgrade of an outdated, 20-year old county-wide SCADA system for their water treatment, distribution and wastewater facilities. The project required an upgrade to the facilities control rooms, new control system hardware and a revised SCADA system architecture including multiple servers, network upgrades, redundant communications and a new HMI software package. WRA’s approach for the software portion of the project was to evaluate different HMI software packages typically used in the water and wastewater industry to select the package that would best meet the specific needs for the County’s system. WRA worked with the County’s project stakeholders to identify the different needs of multiple SCADA system user groups and prioritize these requirements in order of importance. WRA then worked with representatives of the different vendors to determine how closely or efficiently they met the requirements to develop a weighted score for an objective selection.
