Before Incon Automation’s involvement in this three waters project, the Hautapu Stormwater plant faced several challenges in managing its stormwater holding and monitoring system.

Without a robust electrical control system, operators struggled with inconsistent monitoring, slow response times, and limited oversight of water levels and flow rates. A lack of reliable communication infrastructure made data transmission inefficient, delaying critical decision-making. Additionally, ensuring a stable power supply—especially in the event of outages—was disrupting operations.

Addressing these challenges required a fully integrated solution that combined advanced control systems, reliable fibre communication, and uninterruptible power to create a seamless, automated stormwater management system.

Before starting the three waters project, Incon Automation and the production plant set several key goals to ensure the upgrade would enhance efficiency, reliability, and resilience.

These goals included:

By addressing the challenges of inconsistent monitoring, unreliable communication, and power disruptions, Incon Automation successfully delivered a fully integrated electrical control system for the Hautapu Stormwater plant.

Their turnkey solution—encompassing fibre communication, power, controls, and an uninterruptible power supply—aligned perfectly with the project’s goals of improving real-time monitoring, ensuring system reliability, and reducing manual oversight.

The result is a smarter, more efficient stormwater management system that not only meets regulatory and environmental standards but also enhances operational resilience. With this upgrade, the plant is now equipped with a future-ready infrastructure that ensures seamless stormwater control and long-term sustainability.
