Issues and

Delivering Quality Solutions for

Operational Results
More and more utilities are deciding to obtain control system
programming services as a professional service rather than a low-bid
commodity. They have learned that programming quality cannot be
controlled with a low-bid, construction contract approach.
Since 1993, Carollo has been a leader in providing quality
programmable logic controller (PLC) and human-machine interface
(HMI) programming services to water and wastewater utilities. Our
clients have benefited from having their engineer design and program
their process control systems, especially when their engineer has the
programming resources of Carollo.
In 2006, Carollo formed a dedicated subsidiary, Carollo
Systems, LLC, to better serve our clients' needs by
focusing on delivering the water industry's finest
supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA)
programming services.

The Limitations of Low-Bid Software

V:\CompanySOQs\ProgrammingSvcs\Indd\01IssuesPRG.indd

Carollo programmers will work with your

operations staff to develop easy-to-use
SCADA graphic screens.

On most construction projects, the SCADA

control system is part of a low-bid contract. The
SCADA system is generally the last portion of a
construction project to be completed and often the
most troublesome. Every modification can become a
significant change order. Low-bid programmers often leave unfinished
work, software bugs, and very little documentation. On these
projects, treatment plant staff have minimal input on the look and
feel of the operator interface and the details of control strategy
operation. Thats because the contractor-programmer performs its
work far from the owners facilities. By the time the SCADA software
is completed and placed in operation and operations staff can really
see how it works, the general contractor and programmer are out of
time and money and are primarily motivated to wrap things up and
leave.
issues and differentiators

The Right Approach

Carollo Systems can eliminate these difficulties by performing the
programming as a direct extension of our engineering services.
When Carollo Systems performs system programming, we establish
a relationship with you before the work starts, develop it throughout
the project, and continue that relationship long after your new
control system is commissioned. We work with your staff to select
screen colors and symbols, command sequences, and other look and
feel aspects of the SCADA operator interface. We also reserve part
of our budget for post-installation refinements. This way, operations
staff can test drive the new SCADA system before the final
configuration adjustments are performed.
Because Carollo's staff includes programmers, engineers, and
operators, we can provide the most effective, innovative control
system solutions customized to meet your needs. We take advanced
control strategies from conception to successful implementation,
working with your operations staff each step of the way.

Benefits
Many of our clients have experienced the benefits of Carollos
programming services. Carollo delivers SCADA systems that
work. A successful SCADA system project should provide the
means to effectively translate the Engineer's process control
concepts into a practical SCADA system that can be readily
understood and fully utilized by operators. By eliminating
the low-bid contractor from the delivery process, the Carollo
engineer/programmer can work directly with your operations staff
to refine control strategies into practical, effective operational logic
and easy-to-use graphic screens.

V:\CompanySOQs\ProgrammingSvcs\Indd\01IssuesPRG.indd

Carollo combines our programming,

process engineering, and operations
expertise with your operations staffs
knowledge to deliver control systems that
improve your plants performance.

We streamline the automation process. By eliminating the contractorprogrammer, an unnecessary middle-man in the process, many of the
typical construction delays and disputes related to development and
configuration of the SCADA software are eliminated. Because we
have extensive experience programming our own control strategies,
we can efficiently deliver quality SCADA solutions that improve
treatment plant performance, reliability, and efficiency.
We achieve operations staff participation and buy-in, resulting in
greater utilization of the new technology and automation. Carollo
delivers practical process control solutions directly to the user, tailored
to meet each of our clients' individual needs. We understand that
early involvement of operations staff in the development of SCADA
screens, staff training, and easy-to-use documentation are keys to
realizing full operator use of new SCADA controls and technology.

System Commissioning

V:\CompanySOQs\ProgrammingSvcs\Indd\02CapabilitiesPRG.indd

After the PLC programming and HMI configuration

has been completed, the critical steps of testing,
training, startup, commissioning, and documentation
must be effectively completed for a successful SCADA
project. Often, these tasks are the most challenging,
particularly with a low-bid contractor.
Carollos systematically organized and thoroughly documented
PLC code results in fewer bugs during startup and easier
maintenance for the life of the system.

Carollo provides thorough testing of our systems in

the shop and in the field on every project. We develop
comprehensive test procedures and perform thorough
testing in the office to make sure we are ready for a
trouble-free startup when we go to the field.

capabilities

Carollo has commissioned all of the systems we have programmed,

usually in cooperation with a construction contractor that is building
the facility for which we are providing the SCADA system. All of our
programmers also serve as startup engineers, actively working with
the other startup personnel to plan the startup, perform the tests,
solve problems, and startup the equipment, processes, and controls.
Our experience and "can do" attitude significantly streamlines startup
activities related to the control system and minimizes hassles during
this critical project activity.
We know that operator training and SCADA system operations and
maintenance (O&M) documentation are critical to a successful

system at the 75-mgd Bollman Water Treatment Plant for the Contra
Costa Water District in Concord, California. The project included
replacement of the plants obsolete, proprietary Bailey Infi-90 DCS
with a modern, open standards based distributed PC/PLC system.
The new system utilizes four Modicon Quantum Unity hot-failover
CPU pairs connected to I/O modules in eight area control cabinets.
The PLC control network is configured in a redundant Ethernet/fiber
ring. The remote I/O communications are also redundant.
The operator interface is provided by 12 thin-client terminals
connected to redundant SCADA terminal servers running
Wonderware InTouch for Terminal Services version 9.5.
Carollo provided hardware, software, programming, and complete
systems integration services. Carollo was the prime contractor and
directed the work of subcontractors for electrical
installation, fiber optic cable testing, panel fabrication,
and design assistance.
The Bollman Plant is the main source of water for
several communities, and allowable shut down times
were very short, considering the magnitude of the
project. Our team worked closely with District staff
to develop a comprehensive cutover plan, including
fallback options to ensure continuous water deliveries.

The City of Rosevilles 18-mgd Dry Creek Wastewater Treatment

Plant used gaseous chlorine for effluent disinfection and sulfur
dioxide for dechlorination. Based on safety, cost, and toxicity
concerns, Roseville retained Carollo to evaluate alternatives to its
current disinfection system. A project to convert the existing system
to UV disinfection resulted. Project scope included design, PLC
and HMI programming, construction management, startup, and
commissioning.
As part of the project, extensive control system modifications are
being implemented. The control system uses Modicon Quantum
PLCs and a Dynac SCADA HMI. PLC cabinets are being added to
support the UV generation system, as well as on-site hypochlorite
generation, electrical system additions, chemical system changes,
and plant flow control modifications. Carollo programmed the
PLCs and SCADA HMI screens for the project. The UV PLCs were
programmed by the vendor.

Carollo designed water, water quality, and wastewater facility

telemetry for the Town of Hillsborough. This project included a
fully integrated and programmed control and monitoring system.
Hillsborough also selected Carollo to integrate and program the
system, provide construction management, and assist with system
installation. Teledesign Systems radios with digital modems were
installed.
The Carollo team determined the radio frequency band during
design. Signal propagation was an important consideration, since
most of the facilities are located in hilly areas with buildings and
trees. However, the bandwidth available in the highly congested San
Francisco Bay Area was only about one-third the amount normally
used for high-speed telemetry systems. The use of specialized radios
allows use of the assigned frequency (154.47875 MHz) with a
reasonable speed of data transmission (4,800 bps). The team tested
radio communication at this speed during design. At some low-lying
sites, a dial-up telephone line was provided for increased reliability.
Field instrumentation included water quality monitoring for turbidity
and chlorine residual; monitoring of flow, pressure, and energy usage
for each pump at the pump stations; utility power monitoring; and
process alarms.

V:\CompanySOQs\SCADAProgrammingSvcs\Indd\03KeyAcheivePRG.indd

Carollo configured the PLCs/RTUs and the master

station. The PLCs/RTUs are SCADAPack with radios
manufactured by Teledesign Systems of San Jose,
California. This system is open-architecture with
ladder logic programming of the SCADAPack RTUs.
National Instruments Lookout is used for operatorinterface functions at the master station PC.

Hillsboroughs SCADA system features a 154-MHz radio

telemetry system for high-speed transmission to 25 sites on
limited available bandwidth, in hilly terrain.

Process and SCADA upgrades
Complete programming by
Carollo
Relational database history and
reporting system

As part of the Phase III upgrade to its wastewater treatment plant,

the City of Merced needed a new SCADA control system. Carollo
designed both the process improvements and the control system
upgrades. Prior to the upgrade, the Merced plant operated using
stand-alone controllers and hardwired control devices. The new
design provides for a central PC-based computer system used for
monitoring and controlling the plant processes.
The project included the installation of new PLCs in both the new
and existing process areas, the installation of a new fiber optic
network, and the installation of a host computer system. The design
of the system included hardware specifications, details
on the related electrical system modifications, and
comprehensive process descriptions presenting the
revised methods of operation.
Carollo performed all of the programming and system
integration for the project, including establishing
programming standards, PLC programming, HMI
configuration, testing, commissioning, training, and
documentation.

Because the Merced Wastewater Treatment Plant is normally

staffed only 40 hours per week, Carollo provided a redundant

Replacement of outdated
interface software for existing
wellfield control system and
integration with new plant
control system
Upgrade using GE/Intellution
iFIX software

Carollo Engineers, in cooperation with another firm, designed

the new Arsenic Water Treatment Plant for the City of Corcoran,
California. Carollo Systems was selected to program the new plant
control system. Prior to the project, the City of Corcoran's existing
water supply system consisted of eight groundwater wells delivering
water to the city storage system with minimal filtration through a
sand filter and chemical disinfection. The existing control system
consisted of RTUs at each well and pump station communicating
through a radio network to a National Instrument's Lookout SCADA
program at the public works facility.
In addition to the process upgrades, declining factory support for the
existing SCADA software prompted the replacement of the existing
SCADA control system with an implementation of GE Proficy iFIX
4.0 SCADA/HMI software. Plant control is now handled through a
pair of Allen-Bradley SLC5/05 processors.
Carollo's efforts on this project included:

Duplication of existing well and pump station controls in new

SCADA/HMI system.

Programming of control and operator interface for all plant

processes (with exception of OEM filtration system).

Integration of communications with OEM filtration

system into plant SCADA system.

System startup and commissioning.

Provision of thoroughly documented control system
for the City.

The South Tahoe Public Utility District (STPUD) Wastewater

Plant discharges effluent through a pipeline that extends from the
plant, over a Sierra Nevada pass, to the Harvey Place Reservoir. Two
pumping stations convey the water through the pipelines. Significant
power cost savings have been realized by curtailing the use of the
pumps during the afternoon hours by avoiding pumping during peak
electric rate hours.
Carollo worked directly with the plant O&M staff to develop a
practical control strategy to store effluent during peak rate hours and
pump at high rates during the lowest rate periods. Carollo designed
and programmed the new control system for operating the export
pumps and scheduling their operation based on a computer model of
the pumping system.
The control system was built around Allen-Bradley
PLCs and the existing Wonderware SCADA system.
Active X components were also developed for this
project to provide a spreadsheet-style interface for the
data tables required to adjust the pump scheduling
program. The Wonderware displays served as a
container for the custom components to seamlessly
integrate the custom operations into the existing
SCADA system.

V:\CompanySOQs\SCADAProgrammingSvcs\Indd\03KeyAcheivePRG.indd

Carollo worked with operations and maintenance staff at the

STPUDs Wastewater Treatment Plant to design and program a
new control system for the plants export pumps.

Carollo provided wiring drawings and worked with
