6+ years of getting the design right by finally closing the loop! 2030 Smart Boards We operate and maintain Design IPWEA Award Winning Design/Tender discussions with Andrew Sales & Andrew Gray Feedback
Introduction • Product range • Series 1 • Series 2 (Type1, Type2, Type3) • The flawed process • The tender process • An effective design • Product design • The benefits • Capital cost savings • Operating cost/time savings
Product Range (Pump Stations) • Series 1 (Generation 3) • 1kw to 15kw • High quality 316 S.S Cabinets • Integrated soft starters • Half I/O Enet • Integrated stand • Rear mounted CE • Generator changeover • Compact Design • Antenna mounting
Product Range (Pump Stations) • Series 2 Type 1 (Generation 3) • 15 to 22kw (45kw Single pump run) • High quality 316 S.S Cabinets • All in one design • VSD design • Integrated CE board • Externally Cooled
Product Range (Pump Stations) • Series 2 (Type 2) (Generation 3) • 22KW to 75KW • High quality 316 S.S Cabinets • High quality CB chassis • VSD design • Separate CT metering • Up to 630 Amps • Externally Cooled
Product Range (Pump Stations) • Series 2 Type 3 (Generation 3) • 90KW to 160KW • High quality 316 S.S Cabinets • High quality MCCB Chassis • VSD design • Separate CT metering • Up to 630 Amps

Project Goals • Relationship to other projects • Ultimate goal of project • High-level timing goals Cooling Control System Vermin Control System Multi Alarming System Backup Power Systems Anti Vandalism System EFFECTIVE DESIGN SAVES $ Standard Systems System Compliance Lightning Protection System Future Proofing
Vermin Control System Vermin Control System2 stage system • Stage 1 • Vents are Termimesh Stainless Steel 316 Mesh • Ant Proof • Will not rust • Easily cleaned • Stage 2 • Entry & Exits are cable glands only • Conduit sealing systems in cable zone Keeping vermin out = Longer life
Cooling Control System Cooling Control System • Low maintenance cooling systems • Series 1 • Ceramic fans (No bearings) • Very Long Fan life • Thermostatic controlled (Constant Temperature) • Low power consumption so run on batteries • Cooling calcs have been carried out • Series 2 • Entry & Exits are cable glands only • Rear external venting of VSD • No heat in the box all external • Thermostatic controlled fan internal & external • Cooling calcs have been carried out • Also have requirement for heating if required in cold environments Constant cooler temperature = Longer life
Multi Alarming System Multi Alarming System • Local alarminghave provided a strobe with a near vandal proof cover which we have developed in house • Local relay based control system for backup critical well and simple control system • Log Faults last 5-10 faults locally
Anti Vandalism System Anti Vandalism System • Robust locking systems • 316 handle that takes standard padlocks • 3 point locking system for door • Provide specialised light cover design • Vandal proof light cover • Solid 316 stainless steel construction • Since we use standard boxes easy to replace if it gets smashed or damaged.
Backup Power Systems Backup Power Systems • Backup Generator Sockets 4 Pole change over switches • Designed are per regulations • DS3 & DS9 Marechal inlets and lockable covers • Lockable Gen-set inlet covers • Backup Batteries system • 12 /24 Volt battery backup • Batteries correctly charged and discharged and floated correctly Good battery management = Longer battery life
System Compliance System Compliance • AS/NZS 3000:2007 • Thermistor protection • Full load isolation switches • 4 pole Gen-set changeover switch • Interlocking Door Panels • Earth leakage detection G.P.O’s • Local service and installation rules • OH&S (Work cover safe working) • Isolatable switch board • Viewing Windows • Easy to operate • Standard procedures • Standard training • Standard manuals
Future Proofing Future Proofing • MAS 711support for ITT Flygt pumps over 70kw capacity • ITT Flygt support for the MiniCas II relays • Handheldplug in laptop with full mimics etc • Product improvement working constantly with vendors to improve the product. When you have a standard, vendors are more likely to take feedback • Main Vendors • B & R Cabinets • Serck Controls • Schneider Electrics
Lightning Protection System Lightning Protection System3 Level system • Stage 1 • 3 Phase primary parallel lightning protection • Protect VSD’s etc • Stage 2 • 1 Phase mains to control system • Control system protection • Radio • Telemetry controller • Other control devices • Stage 3 • All 4 – 20mA inputs protected • All Digital I/O via a relay • Plus radio lightning protection Effective lightning protection = Longer life
Standard Systems Standard Systems • Standard Partswe have standardise on a set of parts for ease of sparing • Standard Drawingsprovide comprehensive easy to read drawings • Standard Boxes we use standard B&R so easy to modify and get quantity quickly also to carry out upgrades • Standard Testing is carried out on all units using a automated SCX test system • Standard Operatingprocedures • Standard Manuals improve the quality of manuals • Standard Training Standard systems = Save Money
Generation Issues Resolved • DC breakers (No fuses) • Front panel switch and alignment integration • Correct battery charging • Labels (all screwed on) • Phase failure relay • All in one motor control (thermal/magnetic/contactor) • etc
The Benefits EFFECTIVE DESIGN SAVES $ • Capital Costs • Electrical pump station costs decreased • No tender or tender specification required • No electrical design required any more for tender • Much lower install costs • Able to sell to developers with profit • You get what you want • Generation 3 board provided not a Generation0
The Benefits EFFECTIVE DESIGN SAVES $ • Operating Costs/Time • Increased life = Decreased whole of life costs • Reduced visit to pump stations • Reduced overflows (EPA fines) • Lighting Protection = Overflow reduction • Spares & time to repair, quicker response times • More knowledge of each site for operators • Training and documentation is much better
Our Unique Position • Award winning switchboards (IPWEA) • We have built our systems on whole of life costs (Operating efficiencies) not built for a price. • Tender= Built for a price • We have already done the hard work of tendering and vendor selection. The best product for the best price. • Full range covered (1.1kw to 160kw) VSD (1.1kw to 15kw) DOL / Soft starter • Available of the shelf (3-6 weeks delivery) • Longer Life • Local Government ACT 1993 (Part 3) Clause 55 “What are the requirements for tendering?” (3) This section does not apply to the following contracts: “a contract entered into by a council with another council” • We now have Generation 3 boards not Generation 0
