Electrical, Instrumentation & Controls / SCADA
RK&K integrates advanced instrumentation and control (I&C) systems into nearly every design project, delivering reliable automation and monitoring solutions tailored to each facility’s operational needs.
Our Control System Design expertise includes:
- PLC-Based Systems: Custom and pre-engineered microprocessor-based control systems using programmable logic controllers
- HMI/SCADA Integration: Operator workstations built on PC or server platforms for real-time monitoring and control
- Communication Networks: Radio, cellular, and terrestrial systems designed to support robust telemetry and remote access
- SCADA Platforms: Familiarity with all major platforms and communication protocols
We design systems for both constant-speed and variable-speed operations, including:
- VFD Integration: Variable frequency drives for pump speed control, with multi-step speed logic to manage fluid velocities
- Bypass Systems: Solid-state reduced voltage bypass starters for VFD redundancy
- Backup Controls: Redundant sensors and secondary control systems to ensure continued operation during primary system failure
Our control systems include a wide range of automated functions:
- Valve timing and sequencing
- Seal water system control
- Automatic pump alternation and lockout logic
- Motor thermal and vibration monitoring
- Emergency shutdowns triggered by system anomalies (e.g., low suction pressure, high discharge pressure, motor overcurrent)
