Provision, installation and development of remote system management station for leakage detection of internal water supply network of kozani

Kozani is a city in Northern Greece with a population of 80.000 people. The project started with the development of a full GIS System of the entire network. The study included a description of the external and internal network system of the city and studied the method of identifying leaks from the existing data with the Service. A hydraulic network simulation model was developed, using the software EPANET2. The area was separated into 22 pressure zones and flow and pressure meters were installed. Field measurements were executed for the calibration of the model. A full telemetry and SCADA system was installed. With the use of the model and the measurements the most critical zones were defined. Site leak detection followed and covered about 30% of the total area. Training of the local staff of the client was done during the campaign. The GIS system and the hydraulic model were both connected with the SCADA system and all the information were transferred on real time basis to the Water Supply Authority’s headquarters.
Kozani is a city in Northern Greece with a population of 80.000 people. The project’s objective was the final study of Kozani’s water supply system including GIS modelling, installation of flow and pressure meters along with the SCADA system, field measurements, design of a replacement program for old valves and pipes, cost estimation, design of pressure management of the network, 24 hrs network monitoring, design of a new billing system and training of the local staff.
