Reviewing the Single Line Diagram (SLD) for the overall plant & obtain approval from site
consultant.
Reviewing the Single Line Diagram (SLD) for the individual pump stations & obtains
approval from site consultant.
Reviewing the Process Instrumentation Diagram (PID) for the overall plant & obtains
approval from site consultant.
Preparing specifications for the Main Control Panel(MCP) & Motor Control Centers (MCC)
for the pump stations & obtain offers from suppliers. The vendor designs the panels based on
SLDs & the final IO list so that required hardware is incorporated to provide interfacing with
the SCADA system. The offers are evaluated & order placed after obtaining approval from
the Consultant. After the panels are fabricated they are inspected along with the consultant at
the vendor’s factory & witness the FAT (Factory Acceptance Test).
SCADA System: Conduct meetings with the consultant & the vendor to decide on the types
& quantities of signals required as per Process Instrumentation Diagram (PID). This is to
enable the vendor to prepare & submit the IO (input-output) list. Review the same with the
consultant for approval. Inform the vendor for any addition signal requirement or deletion of
unwanted signals.
Vendor designs the PLC panels incorporating the final IO signal requirements. This is again
reviewed by the consultant for final approval before placement of the order on the vendor for
fabrication. (A copy of the final IO list is also provided to the MCC panel vendor for
incorporating necessary hardware for interfacing with the SCADA system).Inspecting the
panels along with the consultant at the vendor’s factory & witness the FAT (Factory
Acceptance Test).
Inviting quotation for various instruments e.g: - Flow-meters, Level transmitters, Pressure
Transmitters as per requirement given on the PID diagram. The offers are reviewed &
approval obtained from consultant.

4. The equipment on receipt at site was checked with the consultant. The consultant approves
the installation of the equipment.
The layout drawings are prepared for different pump stations showing the placement of the
MCC panels, PLC panels & cable trench/cable trays. These are approved by the consultant &
the panels are installed as per the approved drawings.
Cable Route is incorporated on the site plan showing the connection of the main power panel
at the sub-station with the various pump stations & also showing the cable manholes. A
separate cable route is shown for the FO (Fiber Optic) cable for the SCADA system.
Approval obtained for the cable route from the consultant.
The manholes are designed for Power cables,control cables & for SCADA system cables.
The size of the manholes depends on the number & size of the cables & their location on the
site plan. These are approved by the consultant prior to their fabrication & installation at site.
