Thessaloniki Water Supply company – EYATH S.A. integrates new state-of-the-art technology into its sewage network, installing a new remote control system in all sewage pumping stations in its area of responsibility. The relevant contract for the supply, installation and commissioning of EYATH’s new sewage SCADA system was signed with the contractor at the company’s headquarters.
It is a modern and integrated system of remote control – remote supervision of sewage pumping stations, designed by officials of the Directorate of Sewerage Networks, to replace the existing, less functional systems. The new SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) system will significantly contribute to the optimization of the preventive maintenance of the sewage pumping stations and will enable early intervention for immediate repair of any damage and minimal burden on the environment. At the same time, having as its main feature its scalability, it will enable EYATH to expand its area of responsibility to new areas, as the company will now be able to manage an even greater number of sewage pumping stations.
Digital technologies
The new digital and environmentally friendly technologies together in conjunction with highly trained human resources is the way to make infrastructure and cities sustainable and resilient, and this is precisely the philosophy served by the installation of the new SCADA system, noted Anthimos Amanatidis, managing director of EYATH.
The project, which will be operational around the end of 2023, has an initial budget of 1.4 million euros (plus VAT) and a duration of 18 months from the signing of the contract. The contracting company is AKTOR ATE, which was represented at the signing of the contract by project manager Panagiotis Diamantopoulos.
The installation of the new SCADA system is part of a set of large sewerage projects implemented by EYATH SA in recent years, which aim at the sustainable development and robustness of the city of Thessaloniki, the neighboring areas and of course our fellow citizens.
