Milikapiti – Power & Water Corporation SCADA Integration
SPS SCADA Integration
Project Snapshot
Power & Water Corporation required a new Motor Control Centre (MCC) integrated into the existing water SCADA system at Milikapiti, a remote Northern Territory community.
TEC managed the full SCADA integration, testing, and commissioning process — restoring reliable remote monitoring, alarm visibility, and operational connectivity across critical water infrastructure systems.
Location: Darwin, NT
Client: Crocosaurus Cove
Sector: Commercial/Tourism
Completed: December 2022
The Challenge
The project involved integrating a new MCC into an existing operational SCADA environment servicing essential community water infrastructure.
Due to the remote location, the integration required careful coordination, comprehensive testing, and reliable communications to ensure all critical alarms and monitoring points were fully operational before handover.
Both Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and on-site Site Acceptance Testing (SAT) were required to validate system performance and connectivity.
What TEC Delivered
TEC managed the complete SCADA integration scope, including:
Development and configuration of the SCADA system
Upgrade and deployment of Miri configurations for master and SPS 4 units
Establishment of SCADA and PI server connectivity
Verification of all critical alarms and monitoring points
Confirmation of operational radio communications
Removal of temporary alarm hardware
Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT)
Site Acceptance Testing (SAT)
System commissioning and operational verification
TEC also provided comprehensive project close-out documentation, including:
Updated system documentation
Citect backups
Miri maps
System schematics
The upgraded system was designed to provide stable remote monitoring and long-term operational reliability for the site.
The Outcome
The project was delivered on time and within budget, with no safety incidents recorded.
The completed integration delivered:
Reliable SCADA connectivity
Improved remote monitoring capability
Better alarm visibility and operational oversight
Stable communications across the water infrastructure system
Comprehensive operational documentation for ongoing maintenance and support
The result was a fully integrated, remotely monitored SCADA platform supporting reliable operation of critical community water infrastructure.
