Control & Monitoring product groups

• ABS is aware that the cost of On-Call Personnel is increasing every year, not only as a result of salaries and vehicle costs, but also as a result of increasing Health & Safety Legislation that requires in many cases you have to send two Engineers to site to respond to an alarm condition.

• ABS Alarm Management Contracts give you the information that you need to operate your wastewater collection network in the most effective way.

• By using an ABS Control & Surveillance Contract you will always be able to see what the current status is with your pumping station before you send an operator to site. With this information you can decide with certainty what is the most cost-effective use of your On-Call Personnel. Should something change and you do have a problem with the second pump, you will again be notified without delay allowing you to reschedule the visit to meet the new circumstances.

• By means of easy-to-use WEB Interfaces with clear simple on-screen information, you can access the relevant information on your pumping station from any WEB-enabled device so you can even make your decision without going into the office.

• How much can you save? If you can avoid one visit to site, you will nearly pay for the Alarm Management Contract for a year.

Reduced operator costs by managing when to send an engineer to site
Definition of the problem You have received an alarm notification from a pumping station and it is after six o’clock at night - what are your choices? Do you send an engineer straight away and take the extra costs for overtime and loss of personnel the next day, or do you wait until tomorrow when you have an engineer in the area. It’s not an easy decision - you are already under pressure for your costs and you could really do without the extra costs. However if the second pump is not running you are going to have an overflow and you are coming up to the peak time for inflow. You need to make a decision quickly. When it comes to operating a wastewater collection network accurate information is everything, how can you be effective if you cannot see what is going on with your equipment. It is possible to be the best at responding to alarms by always sending an engineer to site when you have an alarm, but at what cost?
