The project covers the design and installation of a turnkey supervisory, control and data acquisition (SCADA) system for the Grand Amman district, which covers an area of approximately 700 Km2 and supplies a population of almost two million inhabitants.

The 85 installations to be controlled include well water intakes, pumping stations, and reservoirs. The project scope also covers the implementation of a Control Centre facility at the Dabouq dam, located in Amman.

The scope of the project comprises engineering, development, start-up, training and technology exchange services, maintenance and a one year warranty coverage period for a fully integrated system which includes:

• Control Centre equipped with a SCADA system for the control and monitoring of the entire Gran Amman water supply system

• Redundant fault-proof central equipment

• Integrated UHF communication system

• Intelligent electronic devices installed in the local systems, assisting in managing the collection, storage and distribution of drinking water

• Local operating consoles

This project is part of the technology innovation program that is currently being strengthened in Jordan. In addition to providing the control and monitoring system, the project also includes a technology transfer to the personnel employed by the Water Authority of Jordan.
