Automation Solutions
Water and wastewater operations require reliable control, real-time monitoring, accurate data, and fast response times to keep essential infrastructure running safely and efficiently. INTEG delivers industrial automation and system integration solutions for water and wastewater facilities through PLC, SCADA, HMI, telemetry, cloud-based monitoring, data historian, reporting, and process control systems.
From pump stations, boreholes, reservoirs, and treatment plants to remote water infrastructure and municipal networks, automation systems help operators improve visibility, reduce manual intervention, manage resources more sustainably, and respond to issues before they become service disruptions.
INTEG’s water and wastewater automation solutions are designed to support operational reliability, efficient resource management, remote monitoring, and long-term infrastructure sustainability.
Case Study: Cloud-Based Telemetry SCADA System for Borehole Management
INTEG developed a cloud-based Telemetry SCADA System to help municipalities monitor and control boreholes across the greater Karoo region of South Africa. The system was designed to support reliable groundwater supply to drought-affected towns while improving resource usage, reducing operational costs, and enabling better long-term water management.
The solution combines PLC control, wireless telemetry, cloud-based SCADA, remote monitoring, local data storage, automated data synchronisation, live and historical reporting, and alerts for abnormal conditions. This gives municipal operators real-time visibility and control over borehole and reservoir operations, even in remote locations.
The result is improved water security, reduced site visits, better response times, lower operational costs, and more sustainable groundwater management for communities affected by drought.

Why Water and Wastewater Organisations Work With INTEG
INTEG delivers industrial automation and systems integration solutions designed for critical infrastructure environments where reliability, visibility, and control are essential. The focus is not only on connecting systems, but on helping operators manage water resources more effectively, reduce operational risk, and make informed decisions using accurate real-time data.
Experience in Remote and Critical Infrastructure
Water and wastewater operations often involve remote assets, distributed infrastructure, and challenging operating conditions. INTEG designs automation and telemetry systems that support visibility and control across boreholes, pump stations, reservoirs, treatment plants, and other water infrastructure.
Real-Time Monitoring and Control
SCADA and telemetry systems give operators access to live operational data, alarms, trends, and remote-control functionality. This helps teams identify issues earlier, respond faster, and reduce unnecessary site visits.
Reliable Data Collection and Reporting
Accurate operational data supports better planning, reporting, compliance, and decision-making. INTEG’s solutions can include historian-based data storage, live and historical trends, water balance reporting, and performance analytics to help teams understand what is happening across the network.
Designed for Operational Continuity
In remote water environments, connectivity interruptions, power failures, and weather conditions can affect system reliability. INTEG’s telemetry solutions can be designed with local data storage and automated synchronisation to protect critical operational information when connections are restored.
Smarter Resource Management
Automation helps water operators manage abstraction, pumping, storage, and distribution more effectively. This can include pump scheduling, borehole recovery time management, flow and level control, and operational strategies that reduce electricity costs while supporting long-term resource sustainability.
Scalable System Integration
INTEG integrates PLCs, SCADA platforms, telemetry systems, historians, instrumentation, reporting tools, and plant-level systems into practical automation solutions that can support current operational needs and future infrastructure expansion.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Water and Wastewater Industrial Automation
Water and wastewater automation refers to using technologies such as PLCs, SCADA systems, telemetry, sensors, instrumentation, and reporting platforms to monitor, control, and manage water infrastructure more efficiently.
SCADA gives operators real-time visibility and control across water and wastewater infrastructure. It helps teams monitor levels, flows, pump status, alarms, and system performance from a centralised interface.
Telemetry allows operational data from remote assets, such as boreholes, reservoirs, pump stations, and treatment sites, to be transmitted wirelessly to a central SCADA system. This reduces the need for manual site checks and helps operators respond faster to operational issues.
Yes. With cloud-based SCADA and telemetry systems, operators can monitor and manage water infrastructure from desktops, tablets, or mobile devices using an internet browser.
Automation and reporting systems can help operators monitor water abstraction, storage, and distribution more accurately. Water balance reports provide better visibility into how much water is extracted, stored, and distributed, which can support loss detection and better resource management.
Yes. Existing water and wastewater infrastructure can often be modernised through PLC upgrades, SCADA improvements, telemetry systems, instrumentation, reporting tools, and remote monitoring solutions without replacing the entire system.
