Overview

The City of Brentwood partnered with AIC to modernize its water and wastewater SCADA and process control systems. The project replaces legacy GE iFix SCADA and Modicon PLC infrastructure while integrating remote facilities into a unified Ignition platform designed to improve reliability, visibility, and long-term maintainability.

Challenge

  • Aging SCADA and PLC infrastructure.
  • Legacy radio and telemetry communications.
  • Multiple systems requiring greater standardization.
  • Maintain reliable utility operations throughout implementation.

Solution

  • Evaluated and upgraded 17 remote water sites and supporting system infrastructure.
  • Replaced legacy SCADA and PLC systems with a unified Ignition platform.
  • Developed standardized PLC and SCADA programming.
  • Integrated fiber optic and radio communications.
  • Incorporated cybersecurity practices aligned with NIST 800-82 and ISA 62443.
  • Provided installation, testing, commissioning, and ongoing support.

Expected Outcome

  • Unified SCADA environment across water and wastewater operations.
  • Improved system reliability and operational visibility.
  • More consistent programming and controls.
  • Modernized communications infrastructure.
  • Scalable platform supporting future utility improvements.
