2003 Lajjoun Wells Water Project- Damkhi, Swaqa, Qastal & Qatraneh Print E-mail

Owner : Water Authority of Jordan.

Location : Qatraneh to Qastal.

Commissioning date : 2002/ 2003.

Project value : Around 7.5 Million JD.

Project description:

The project activities are:

- To build a new pumping station in the village of Damkhi (75 km form

Amman). Which includes three 355 KW pumps and two 15 KW

pumps and a communication RTU.

- To build a new reservoir in the existing Qatraneh pumping station.

- To add two new pumps in the existing Qatraneh pumping station.

- Supply a PLC based RTU in the existing Swaqa, reservoir.

- Supply and install a SCADA system, in the existing Qastal pumping

station.

Water is received in Qatraneh existing and new reservoir from the surrounding

water wells and pumped through 4 existing and 2 new pumps to Swaqa reservoir.

Qatraneh is controlled by an existing AB SLC5/03 controller.

Water is also received in Damkhi new pumping station from the surrounding well

and pumped via three pumps to Qastal reservoir. Damkhi is controlled by new

Siemens S7-300 PLC.

Water received in Swaqa reservoir from both Qatraneh pumping station and

Damkhi pumping station, and flows naturally to Qastal pumping station. Swaqa

reservoir is monitored by a newly installed Siemens S7-300 PLC.

Qastal receives water from Swaqa in it newly installed reservoir, and pumped to

Amman via the existing pumping station consists of 6 pumps. Qastal is controlled

by an existing AB SLC5/03 PLC.

Overall monitoring and control of the stations from Qatranh to Qastal is established

by a newly installed SCADA system.

Scope of Work and Equipment Supplied:

TECO’s major role included the implementation of the duties of the ISS to supply

PLC based control, automation and telemetry system, and a PC based SCADA

system in addition to the manufacturing and the supply of the low voltage

switchgear and controlgear system, including: the design, assembly, testing,

installation, commissioning and operation staff training for the following:

- 5 Autotransformer reduced voltage starters, three 355 KW and two 15 KW

panels. In the new Damkhi pumping station.

- One Main distribution for electrical supply and one battery system for control

supply. Installed in Damkhi pumping station.

- One PLC based control system for local automation and remote telemetry and

control. Installed in Damkhi pumping station.

- 2 Autotransformer reduced voltage starters of 355 KW each installed in the

existing Qatraneh pumping station.

- One Main distribution board for power supply and one battery system for control

supply. Installed in the existing Qatraneh pumping station.

- One PLC based RTU installed in the existing Swaqa reservoir, for remote

telemetry.

- PC based SCADA system, installed in the existing Qastal Pumping station.

- Establish connection between all sites with new installed and existing PLC

based RTU, over a UHF Radio communication link, to have an overall

monitoring system in Qastal pumping station.
