The IWMS intends to enhance PUB’s capability to integrate realtime information on water resources in Singapore and manage water operations across the entire water supply, water catchment, used water and drainage systems more efficiently.
ST Electronics has embarked on the project which is expected to be completed in the second half of next year.
ST Electronics will build an Integrated Control Centre (ICC) to house the existing control systems across the PUB’s operations.
Leveraging geospatial asset management system maps, the IWMS will visually display critical information including the location of water incidents such as damaged or leaking pipes.
The IWMS allows both voice and video transmission from field teams to officers at the ICC, giving them a better situational picture.
These officers will then be able to make quick and more accurate decisions based on the live information that they receive from the ground.
Based on the received information, the system will offer the field teams guided solutions to resolve the problems, the company said.
