Water / Wastewater SCADA Software Case Studies and Stories

VTScada at The City Of Lethbridge – A VTScada Wastewater Case Study
When Lee Allen learned that the SCADA software for the City of Lethbridge’s primary wastewater treatment facility would not support future operating systems, he went looking for a scalable platform that would. After discovering VTScada online, he downloaded a trial and got started. Within a few weeks he had new fully featured application that included high performance graphics, an enterprise historian, and could easily be expanded to include other parts of their process such as the septic truck drop off system. Best of all the new system was commissioned in a day and the conversion cost about a tenth of what it would have taken to upgrade the old system.
Video Case Study: Greater Augusta Utility District
Kyle Metivier, Senior SCADA Technician with The Greater Augusta Utility District, describes how he used VTScada’s software platform to replace their existing SCADA application. With a VTScada Operation and Configuration course under his belt, Kyle was able to build a fully featured monitoring and control system for the utility’s drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater management systems.
Video Case Study: Charlotte County, FL, SCADA Master Plan
In 2020, McKim & Creed developed a SCADA Master Plan for Charlotte County, Florida for their water and wastewater facilities. Their engineers chose VTScada software to address the county’s complex needs. The project migrated historical data and developed ISA 101 compliant screens using high-performance graphics. The team also developed an OEM layer to ensure standardization across all plants.

VTScada and the AquaNereda Wastewater Treatment Process at Riviera Utilities
Engineer Lee Kibler describes the principals and benefits of the AquaNereda Wastewater Treatment Process and how the utility implemented it using the VTScada automation platform.
Video Case Study: Canal Winchester, Ohio
Rick Brown, IT Coordinator, City of Canal Winchester, Ohio take us on a tour of their award-winning facilities including the VTScada software application that provides advanced monitoring and control of their water treatment plant, wastewater treatment plant, and pumpstations. 

“The reason I chose VTScada, the one at the top, was the support. When we call up there, you get a live person, you’re dealing with the same person throughout the entire problem.” 

Video Case Study: The Town of Exeter, NH
In 2018, the town contracted Wright-Pierce, a full-service engineering firm based in New England to upgrade their limited four-lagoon wastewater plant to a full treatment process with influent headworks, sludge, dewatering aeration, and UV disinfection. In this interview, controls engineer Phill Arnold tells us about how he used the VTScada Idea Studio to implement the high performance screen design concepts outlined in the ISA 101 design standard.

Video Case Study: 4RF Radio Upgrade at St. Johns County, FL
St. Johns County, Florida upgraded their VTScada application to spot emerging problems in their digital 4RF Radio network preventing downtime in the SCADA system responsible for hundreds of liftstations and booster stations.

Video Case Study: High Performance Screen Concepts Used at Valdosta, Georgia
Integrator Electric Machine Control, Inc., demonstrates how high performance design concepts can improve situational awareness using the SCADA application they created for Valdosta, GA.

Video Case Study: Wide-Area SCADA Migration for the District of North Vancouver
Upgrade of a SCADA system that monitors a distributed network of water and wastewater stations, where Trihedral and MPE worked together to meet the challenging project requirements and deliver a modern SCADA system for this Metro Vancouver municipality.
