Teamwork Pays Off
|
|
One water authority, three municipalities, three engineering firms, and three general contractors form a great team with one systems integrator. When the Town of Wytheville and the Counties of Carroll and Wythe came together to form the New River Regional Water Authority (NRRWA) in order to construct and manage a new 4.0 MGD water treatment plant, they knew that communication was vital. So important, in fact, that they decided to hire one systems integrator for all the controls, SCADA, and process communication
|
|
for the Authority’s main project as well
as all the ancillary projects for the individual municipalities.
The NRRWA knew that they were building a complex system which required all the pieces to work together seamlessly. Instead of gambling with the integration portion of the projects through competitive bidding they decided to directly contract with one integrator to insure continuity from start to finish of the three year project. Over a period of several months, the NRRWA reviewed proposals and qualifications as well as visited the customers of six systems integrators. At the end of the process, Sunapsys emerged as the winner, demonstrating technical and process expertise as well as a collaborative approach to projects which would be essential to the success of this project.

Importance of Certification
|
|
Control System Integrators Association’s (CSIA) mission is to improve the business skills
of its member-companies and their executive management – in support of a belief that being
a good system integrator goes hand in hand with operating a good business.
|
CSIA Certified Membership provides clients assurance that their system integrator is a financially
healthy company capable of completing projects in a professional and technically sound manner.
|
Today’s automation can be a high-risk, complex undertaking. Hiring a CSIA Certified Member firm
lowers a client’s risk by providing a proven resource, tested against standards of excellence required
by the CSIA’s Best Practices and Benchmarks certification audit.

FREE Consultation Visit
|
|
Each week someone from Sunapsys has been visiting a client to perform
a diagnostic check on their control system, review specifications
for an automation project, or make suggestions for a better control
scheme. AND, we have been doing this for FREE. What is the catch, you ask?
We want satisfied customers who will not hesitate to suggest Sunapsys
to a colleague or friend. Want to find out how you can get on the
schedule for a diagnostic visit? Contact us at
service@sunapsys.com.
