Water / Wastewater

A focus on public safety, cyber-security, and standardization

The Water and Wastewater industry makes up 70% of the Automation Consulting and Systems Integration work that EA performs.

We have a long history of serving this unique type of client with an impeccable track record. We understand the challenges within Water and Wastewater, including the difficulty in procuring the resources and help you need. We can guide you through this process.

"Choosing the best SCADA integrator for us was to find one based on qualifications. EA met that challenge and immediately added value in helping us plan our SCADA infrastructure projects over the next 5 to 10 years. Their staff is very knowledgeable and every process is well planned and tested before implementing."

"EA has worked with us to plan our SCADA infrastructure projects and determine the proper sequencing. Helping us understand what costs to plan for was critical to helping us actually achieve what we wanted in time to take advantage of it."

"Enterprise Automation has a lot of expertise; they really know what they are doing and drive themselves to understand our process so they can program it correctly. They go above and beyond in terms of communication. Having EA as a team member brings a lot of comfort to owners like us."

"I have always had a positive experience working with Enterprise Automation. They are a consultant that does good-quality work, they stay within budget, on schedule, and they know our system very well. They know how to maintain it, make changes for us, and they make recommendations to sustain its longevity over time, which makes my job easier."

"Enterprise Automation is very thorough and they have great attention to detail. Their technical proficiency is excellent, as is their communication."

The availability of funds, and the intricacies of annual budgets and planning are also critical to manage when dealing with SCADA assets, which can include everything from server and network infrastructure, software licenses, panel hardware, to programming code.

Our Clients

Here's how we remove the risk.

1. Detailed Design & Documentation

2. Proactive Project Management

3. Nothing Leaves Enterprise Untested

1. Detailed Design & Documentation

Upfront design and documentation is the biggest driver of a project’s success. It is where lesser integrators will cut corners and where project outcomes begin to diverge from what a client needs. As a first step in any project we perform, EA drives collaboration with all available project stakeholders in order to ensure that all ideal outcomes of an automation project are considered and met. Through interactive workshopping, EA Engineer’s extract valuable process, operational, IT and business information in order to complete detailed system design. The final deliverables of this process are Functional Specification documents that detail almost every aspect of the control system to be built. These documents drive programming efficiency and allow for accurate task-level effort analysis, which drives accurate and predictable project schedules. They enable testing efforts which have a client approved criteria for being acceptable prior to deployment. Finally, they provide ongoing tools for operations and maintenance staff who need to learn and work with the new system.

2. Proactive Project Management

A late project delivery or overruns on approved budgets can ruin an otherwise successful project. EA has developed state of the art tools and methodologies for tracking project status and costs in real time. In addition, we utilize simple but effective routines to inform clients ahead of requests for information. At EA the definition of being proactive is always having an eye on startup and delivery, and taking the necessary steps now to create the ideal end of project outcomes.

3. Nothing Leaves Enterprise Untested

As the final stopgap to removing project risk, everything we do and develop is thoroughly tested prior to leaving our offices. Our promise to clients is that startup in the field will be about validating that the physical installation can execute the controls process defined during the design phase of a project. When EA arrives on site, we know the programming is 100% complete, and that it does what stakeholders have specified. As a result, startups are quick and smooth. This reduces costs associated with having multiple trades on site, and lost revenue from extended downtime.

EA doesn't maintain the lowest rates, and doesn't skip steps. The formula above is how we keep your total project and lifecycle costs lower than others while hiring the best talent and developing top tier solutions.
