SUPPLY – INSTALLATION AND START UP OF MONITORING SYSTEM – TELECONTROL – REMOTE CONTROL AND LEAKAGE DETECTION OF THE EXISTING EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL WATER SUPPLY NETWORK OF DEYA AIGIO (WATER NETWORK COMPANY OF AIGIO)

Priority axon 2 “Environmental Protection – Going to an Environment-friendly Economy”

The system provides continuously monitoring and supervision of important parameters in the operation of Municipality’s external and internal water supply network (inlet, pressure, electrical consumption, etc.), collecting and storage data’s history, as well as the control of the active operation, of the water supply.

The system consists of supply and Installation of:

• One (1) Central Control Station (CCS) which contains (server, client, printers, monitors, etc.) through which the operators command, monitor and process the collected data from the Local Control Stations of the external and internal water network. The system has been adapted to the existing monitoring system and has been functioned as a single integrated system
• Ten (10) Local Control Stations (LCS) of water tanks and pumping stations
• Eighteen (18) Local Control Stations (LCS) of pressure reducing
• Eleven (11) Local Control Stations (LCS) of inlets in the Municipality, as well as the necessary equipment for them
• Software required to operate the System
• Communication equipment for the uninterrupted operation of the system
• Measuring instruments (level meters, flow meters, pressure meters, electrical measuring etc.)

With the operation of this system we achieved the following targets:

• Reducing the annual potable water losses and the total consumption, because of the immediate response and treatment of the leakages and overflows
• Early detection of the origin of potable water losses and the support of the operators during the isolation process of the parts of the network, resulting less water losses
• Support technical services to accurately identify and respond to leaks and overflows, with minimal disruption to the normal service of water supply and distribution
• Reduced energy consumption of pumping stations and water tanks due to controlled operation and monitoring, resulting in protection and increase of pump life
• The gradual reduction of water network leaks by collecting and monitoring data from its operation during nighttime
• Enhanced security in the operation of network installations
• Detecting and handling malicious actions (unauthorized water supply)
• The ability to automatically adjust pressure and consequently to significantly and efficiently reduce dormant leaks at times when there is no demand from consumers
• Continuous recording of consumption (water inlets/outlets) which provides useful information on major leaks
• Immediate handling of faults due to immediate notification of the technicians (24-hour monitoring and alert) such as pump failure (lack of water from the network), sudden drop in pressure (leakage), sudden increase of inlets (pipe breakage)
