Larry M. Smith, P.E. Principal Electrical Engineer Fort Lauderdale, Florida 🏠🏠 (954) 353-4559 ext. 202 ☎ (561) 818-3600 📱📱 Larry@SmithEngineeringConsultants.com ✉ Project Experience City of West Palm Beach Lift Station SCADA Upgrade - Smith Engineering Consultants designed the replacement of the City’s existing base station and RTU’s that serve over 100 lift stations throughout the City of West Palm Beach. The existing SCADA system was comprised of several different types of RTU’s along with proprietary base station software that was not able to accommodate RTU’s with an open communications protocol. Therefore SEC specified a new base station, including both system hardware and software, to allow different types of RTU’s to be installed in the field that previously would not have been able to communicate with the base station. We also specified the new RTU’s to replace those RTU’s at the lift stations that were aging and in need of replacement. This new SCADA system provided the necessary flexibility that helped the City to save operating and maintenance costs by allowing for non-proprietary, lower cost RTU’s to be installed throughout their service territory. City of West Palm Beach Flagler Drive Wastewater Pump Stations - This award winning project included the replacement of a wastewater force main pipeline, and the rehabilitation of two (2) existing pump stations. Pump Station No. 3’s submersible pumps were replaced to meet the new flow and head requirements. Control panel upgrades were designed to accommodate the parameters of the new submersible pump motors. At Pump Station No. 5, a new electrical service (including a City-owned step-up transformer) was designed to handle the additional electrical load of the station. A replacement of the three (3) existing VFD’s was accomplished within the existing motor control center. Provisions to connect a portable generator through a manual transfer switch were also provided. City of West Palm Beach Lift Station Improvements and Rehabilitation (LS Nos.: 4, 7, 44, 52, 75, 74, and 153) - This project consisted of the rehabilitation of several existing lift stations and included electrical design, including power, controls, instrumentation and telemetry/SCADA for the installation of new pump control panels and remote telemetry units (RTU’s), throughout the City of West Palm Beach’s service area.
