Project value : 3.4 Million JD.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE WORKS

The objective of this Contract is to implement an integrated SCADA system that

will enable the optimization of the management of the water abstraction and

distribution systems in Greater Amman. This will involve the design and

installation of a SCADA system and its associated communications

infrastructure to approximately 85 designated sites in the Greater Amman

district and also the interfacing to the SCADA systems of the Capital Investment

Projects in the different locations in Amman.

The proposed SCADA system Scope of Works for Greater Amman shall comprise:

a. A centralized processing and monitoring facility at Dabouq reservoir.

b. An integrated communications network based on UHF radio.

c. Distributed intelligence using microprocessor-based outstations for

monitoring, data logging and local process control as necessary.

d. Remote operator consoles. These are to be configured to provide

monitoring facilities under normal operation and control under other

operating conditions.

e. A building to house workshops, operations units and the SCADA

system located at the Dabouq reservoir site.

The control philosophy to be adopted shall be one of a centralized supervisory

processing facility with distributed control (by the outstations), i.e. the control

centre will not be responsible for the minute-by-minute control of plant. The

control centre will monitor the status of plant and instigate remedial action only

when the outstation has exhausted its local contingency programs, and raised an

appropriate alarm. Under normal operating conditions the facilities provided

under the existing program operate under local closed-loop arrangements. For

anything other than normal operation it must be possible to transfer control to

the Central SCADA Centre.
