Pipelines
Pipeline automation connects field instruments, valve stations, pumping/compressor stations, metering, leak/pressure information and central supervision. SMEC supports PLC/RTU/SCADA integration, instrumentation, communications interfaces, electrical controls, brownfield migration and remote asset monitoring.
Typical scope
- RTU/PLC panels and remote stations
- SCADA/HMI integration
- Valve and actuator control interfaces
- Metering and instrumentation
- Pump/compressor station controls
- Protocol conversion and communications integration
- NexWave remote monitoring where approved
- Lifecycle migration of obsolete RTUs/PLCs
Common questions
What scope can SMEC support for Pipeline SCADA, RTU & Automation Engineering?
SMEC can support the electrical, instrumentation, automation, control, integration, modernization, testing and commissioning elements described on this page, subject to the agreed project boundary.
Can SMEC work with an existing multi-OEM installed base?
Yes where the required technical information, access, interfaces and project approvals are available. Compatibility and scope boundaries are assessed before execution.
What information is needed to quote?
Send the asset or project, existing make/model where relevant, drawings or specification, required scope, site, required date and any shutdown or mobilization constraint.
