GSWC-Orange County Design-Build SCADA Upgrade

Golden State Water Company’s (GSWC) existing control system was providing monitoring and control for seven out of 37 remote sites across four different water systems. GSWC needed standardized SCADA designs for hardware and software implementation from their SCADA Master Plan to integrate all four water systems. Cannon was selected by GSWC to complete a design-build, SCADA system upgrade project for the Orange County District.

Cannon conducted Radio Path Surveys in this Orange County region, including evaluating alternatives for communication to the GSWC Anaheim office. Due to poor radio paths to Anaheim, Cannon developed alternative telemetry design solutions using cellular routers at each of the access points for the four water systems.
