Sundance Reservoir, Booster Station, and Wells 1, 2 and 4
Buckeye, Arizona
The facility consists of a 1 million gallon reservoir, and dual booster stations, each pumping to separate pressure zones with dedicated hydropneumatic surge tanks. DLT&V was responsible for the instrumentation, control system, and SCADA system design on this project. Our services included PLC programming of the reservoir level controls, and the two booster station pressure control systems. The control system consists of an Allen-Bradley ControlLogix 5550, and a MicroLogix 1500 for backup pump control. We also configured and programmed a Xycom industrial computer with touch-screen operator interface terminal, running Wonderware Intouch for the human-machine interface. The SCADA system is designed to communicate via radio telemetry with several remote well sites that pump directly to the reservoir. Additionally, a wireless I/O device remotely controls a valve at the golf course irrigation pump station, where potable water can be used to fill the golf course lake. DLT&V also designed the electrical, instrumentation, and control systems for wells 1, 2, and 4 in the Sundance development, in Buckeye. We programmed Allen Bradley PLCs to control 
and monitor the wells remotely from the Sundance Reservoir and Booster Station via radio telemetry. The wells can be monitored for run status and alarms. Alarms include the diesel standby generator status. The instrumentation and control system design included flowmetering, which is used to monitor performance of the well pumps.
