I.C.A. telemetry and SCADA

Instrumentation Control and Automation (ICA)

Instrumentation, Control and Automation (ICA) is the key component in any automation or mechanical process. It allows an unlimited range of configurable system functionality and automated control. It can be simple or complex in operation and most importantly can be developed to operate to meet the end users needs. Instrument systems are used to measure and retrieve raw data and ‘real time’ information from site, this data is inputted into Program Logic Controllers (PLCs) and other peripheral control devices which carry out automatic control of the associated plant.

SCADA is used for viewing data, system operation and control. Telemetry systems are used to transfer remote controls, status’ and data to and from automated systems and remote sources.

The experienced in house ICA team at Halcrow can provide specialist services in feasibility, design, installation, project management, site supervision, commissioning and whole-life operational support of ICA systems.

Halcrow capability has been built upon extensive practical experience of instrumentation and control systems acquired through hands-on applications in industry. Up to date knowledge has been gained using the latest proven technology.
