U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS
The team at Prime Controls has worked extremely hard in the New Orleans post-Katrina rebuilding effort.
To help in the rebuilding of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers awarded Prime Controls a design/build contract to provide a computer-based SCADA system for remote monitoring and control of three new interim canal structures. Elements monitored and controlled included: diesel engine-driven hydraulic pumps; canal isolation gates; emergency generator status; canal water levels; weather information; and CCTV surveillance. Services provided include: prime contractor responsibility; PLC/HMI software development and implementation; SCADA and instrumentation product procurement; custom panel fabrication and assembly; startup and system commissioning; project documentation; operator and engineer hardware and software training; and warranty and on-going support services.
