FAQ

Water & wastewater SCADA questions

What water and wastewater SCADA services does ACE provide?
ACE provides end-to-end SCADA and control systems engineering for water and wastewater utilities, including water treatment plants (WTP), wastewater treatment plants (WWTP), pump stations, reservoirs, bore fields, pressure sustaining valves, metering stations, and wide-area telemetry networks. Services cover design, PLC and RTU programming, HMI development, installation, commissioning, and ongoing maintenance.
Which utility clients does ACE work with in the water sector?
ACE has delivered water and wastewater SCADA projects for major utilities across Australia including Water Corporation, TasWater, and other state and regional water authorities. Notable projects include the Denmark WWTP process control systems engineering, utility-wide ClearSCADA to GeoSCADA migrations, and the Great Southern region obsolescence SCADA replacement.
What SCADA platforms does ACE use for water utilities?
ACE is experienced with all major water utility SCADA platforms including Schneider EcoStruxure Geo SCADA (formerly ClearSCADA), Siemens WinCC OA, and Ignition by Inductive Automation. We are a Schneider Certified System Integrator and Siemens Official System Integrator, ensuring platform expertise aligned with each utility's adopted standards.
How does ACE approach wide-area SCADA network design for water utilities?
ACE designs wide-area SCADA networks with long-term operational efficiency in mind. Our team captures and analyses existing SCADA communications to identify root-cause issues, then delivers resilient field networks using DNP3, Modbus, and IEC 60870-5-104 over radio, cellular, or fibre communications — tailored to each utility's geography and reliability requirements.
Does ACE handle SCADA standardisation for multi-site water networks?
Yes. ACE specialises in SCADA standardisation including asset hierarchy design, standard point models, alarm rationalisation, screen templates, and naming conventions. This approach reduces long-term maintenance costs, improves operator efficiency, and enables consistent rollout across large multi-site water networks with hundreds or thousands of remote assets.
Can ACE migrate legacy water utility SCADA systems?
Yes. ACE has successfully delivered SCADA Master Station migrations for several major Australian water utilities, including ClearSCADA to GeoSCADA migrations. Our structured migration approach integrates legacy systems into modern platforms without operational disruption, enhancing real-time monitoring, system reliability, and scalability while preserving operator familiarity.
