挑战
The Meir Tunnel, a 284 meter long road tunnel located on the A50, a major trunk road in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England, was in need of an upgrade to its Tunnel Control System (TCS) and SCADA system. The tunnel, which is heavily used and strategically important, is operated by Kier Highways on behalf of Highways England. The tunnel is served by an unmanned Tunnel Service Building (TSB) and is controlled and monitored from the main control room located in Coventry. In March 2015, Kier identified the need to upgrade their incumbent SCADA system, future proof their asset management prerequisites and drive engineering response time efficiencies. The challenge was to upgrade the system while returning the tunnel to service every day.
关于客户
The customer in this case study is Kier Highways, one of the UK’s leading highways management and maintenance teams. They operate the Meir Tunnel on behalf of Highways England. The Meir Tunnel is a 284 meter long road tunnel located on the A50, a major trunk road running almost 100 miles from Warrington to Leicester. The Meir area is a heavily congested urban district that connects Uttoxeter, Nottingham and the East Midlands with Stoke-on-Trent city center and the M6 Motorway, the UK’s longest and possibly busiest non-stop motorway. The self-ventilating, dual-lane tunnel was built in 1997 to allow free flow traffic to bypass the Meir junction on the A50 and continue towards the M6 Motorway.
解决方案
Core Control Solutions (CCS), an agile and growing control systems integrator based in Ilkeston, Derbyshire, delivered a state-of-the-art Tunnel Control System (TCS) complete with a fully integrated Supervisor Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system based on ICONICS’ GENESIS64™ software. The new TCS deployed a hot-standby PLC system complete with distributed I/O and RTU’s that communicated via a GPRS data network. The TCS upgrade included the design and installation of a new resilient fibre-optic network configured in a ring typology throughout the estate providing connectivity for the tunnel assets. The tunnel assets controlled and monitored by the new TCS include but is not limited to; tunnel lighting, Variable Message Signs (VMS), Emergency Escape Lighting, Linear Heat Detection, LV Distribution, Standby Generators, Sumps and Pumps and local traffic light interfaces.
