various specialists, who were able
to simultaneously work on different
types of documents. The software’s
intelligent design capabilities allowed
the transfer of product information
from one document to another,
ensuring the accuracy of project data.
Promis.e enabled Aqua+ to store
all project information in a connected
data environment, giving professionals
access to the most current version of
documentation, whether they were
working locally or remotely. The
software’s deeply integrated electrical
design process facilitated the selection
and positioning of the most reliable
and accurate equipment. The process
ensured constructive and purposeful
use of space - from placing equipment
in the large pumping stations to
locating terminals and devices in
control cabinets.
QUALITY DOCUMENTATION
The software was used to produce
29 volumes of project and design
documentation, with each volume
comprising 220 pages of diagrams,
drawings, and reports.
Signifcant time savings were
achieved in several areas, allowing the
project team to complete the design
work quickly and accurately.
In about half the usual time,
Promis.e automatically generated
some 2,000 documents specifying
equipment, cables, connections, and
other items. Aqua+ also developed
Excel tables into the PLC generator,
enabling the software to produce
programmable logic controller (PLC)
schematics in 40 percent less time
than conventional methods. Cabinet
specifcation and labeling took 30
percent less time using Promis.e, while
the navigator function simplifed item
placement.
The Bentley software allowed Aqua+
specialists to concentrate on core tasks
without being distracted by routine
operations. Automated functionality
such as built in error-checking, which
helped avoid more than 30 types of
mistakes, elevated the design quality.
The localization module ensured
design documentation was in full
compliance with local standards. By
preventing the divergence of project
and design documentation, Promis.e
contributed to signifcant savings
during assembly and installation.
INCREASE IN DESIGN SPEED
Aqua+ was able to issued project
documentation for the automation
of the water intake facilities in just
10 months. Using Promis.e increased
project design speed by 50 percent and
improved documentation quality by
70 percent. The minimization of errors
and quick correction of inaccuracies
signifcantly reduced the time spent on
installation and commissioning of the
SCADA system, which contributed to
overall project cost savings.
Aleksey Anatolievich Dorozhkin,
general director of Aqua+, says: “The
Bentley technology was a reliable tool
in our hands, helping us to raise and
improve the level and quality of our
projects, making them the benchmark
in the segment of automation of water
and sanitation.”
The automated water quality
monitoring and control system proved
to be extremely reliable and accurate,
helping to minimise facility operating
costs and deliver better water for the
city of Khabarovsk. The project team’s
attention to details, such as proper
specifcation of equipment for sample
selection and preparation, helped
to ensure Khabarovsk Vodocanal
achieved its water quality goals - all
while reducing the facilities’ staffng
requirements by tenfold.
Khabarovsk Vodocanal plans to
repurpose the unique engineering of
the Tunguska Groundwater Intake
Facilities for use at underground water
treatment facilities in other areas,
ensuring the benefts of advanced
technology and engineering are
realized throughout the region.
