according to the operation scenarios.
• Monitoring and control of the pipeline flow rate according to the system conditions
(e.g., levels of tanks and reservoirs).
• Emergency and safety functions.
• Operation optimization (e.g., pump scheduler).
• Monitoring of cathodic protection.
• Monitoring of power consumption.
• Leak detection and leak location detection for pipeline system.
• Time synchronization between all control system equipment (hierarchical principle).
• Continuous alarm management.
The contractor scope of work shall include to modification, upgrading and/or replace the
existing control systems which may be used for the new required system (e.g., DCS/SCADA
software/hardware, LDS, GPS, …etc.).
The control system of the new WTSs shall include the following main components:

Standard features such as conference call, missed call list, call diversion, group call, calling
party identification, etc. shall be provided.
The central management system for the complete VoIP telephone system shall be located at
Control Center. Alarms shall be forwarded to the control system at the Control Center.
It is the Contractor’s responsibility to gather all as-built documents and to perform the required
site investigations and coordination. All modification/necessary extension to existing
installations is also within scope of the Station Contractor.
14.6.2 Hotline System
A hotline system shall allow a direct connection to Control Center.
The hotline telephone system shall be a part of the telephone system.
Red colored hotline VoIP telephones with audio-visual ringers and alphanumeric display shall
be installed at each pumping station and terminal station. The Control Center shall be
equipped with at least two (2) hotline phones.
Calls initiated from those phones shall have pre-emption rights to standard VoIP phones and
public telephone system gateways. All hotline phones shall have direct dial buttons
preconfigured with the numbers of all other hotline phones of the new system.
14.6.3 Office WAN
The Office WAN shall be implemented as part of the telephone and office network. The
minimum data rate along the pipeline shall be 200 Mbps. No redundancy or backup links shall
be implemented.
Office Ethernet switches with at least 48 ports shall be provided at those stations with offices.
These office Ethernet switches shall be connected to the station UPS as well.
In offices, meeting rooms, instrumentation room and control rooms Office WAN outlets shall
be provided beside each telephone outlet. This is also applicable for workshops, safety and
security buildings and guard houses.
Coordination with SWCC IT department for all stations and interfacing with existing Office
WAN shall be part of scope.
14.7 Network Management System
All active components of the communication system shall be permanently monitored and
controlled via a network management system.
The network management system (NMS) shall be redundant and located at Control Center.
Alarms indicating equipment faults, loss of connectivity or unavailability of e.g., backup links
shall be forwarded to the control system at the Control Center.
The NMS shall also monitor the entire data traffic for online analysis and to detect any
unauthorized data access or unusual data transfer within one of the networks. In case of
identification of an event an appropriate alarm shall be initiated to the operator.

14.8 Security System
14.8.1 Monitoring of Third-Party Intervention

A fiber optic Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) system shall be installed along water
transmission pipeline in order to detect any potentially harmful activities in the vicinity of the
buried pipelines as early as possible. This shall enable SWCC maintenance and/or security
teams to stop these activities, if necessary, before the pipelines and FOCs can be damaged.
This shall be integrated with existing TTRK system.
The DAS shall use spare fibers of the fiber optic cable which shall be installed along the new
pipelines for communication purposes. The DAS manufacturer shall analyze and approve the
suitability of the fiber optic cable, the conduit and the foreseen cable installation position,
relative to the pipeline, proposed by Contractor as basis for SWCC/Engineer approval if
deviating from the defined positions as per chapter 14.3.
Although the pipelines are routed along and beneath major roads, the DAS shall be able to
detect and classify automatically any indication for construction activities in the vicinity of the
pipeline with a minimum amount of fail alarms up to a distance of at least 10 meters from the
pipeline.
The DAS shall automatically evaluate the measured acoustic signals and create warnings and
alarms with indication and classification of the warning/alarm cause. These warnings/alarms
shall be forwarded as well to the Control Center.
The DAS shall be composed from fiber optic interrogators (which can be installed at stations
along the pipelines - as necessary), redundant servers (located at the Control Center) for
signal processing and storage of acoustic as well as warning/alarm signals (minimum 3
months) and two DAS workstations (each with two LCD monitors of 24’’, mouse, keyboard and
comfort headset) for detailed analysis of sound signals and warnings/alarms.
The DAS shall be provided as a complete system including all accessories and the
adaptation/training/calibration of the DAS to the acoustic conditions along the pipeline routes.
The DAS manufacturer shall propose a list of warnings/alarms including argumentation for
suitability to support Above purpose of DAS system for approval by SWCC/Engineer.
As part of the system acceptance test for each pipeline at least 10 simulated construction
activities shall be arranged. As a minimum for 90% of the simulated activities warnings/alarms
shall be detected within 5 minutes. During a test period of minimum one week a maximum of 2
fail alarms shall be generated per pipeline system.
In addition to third party interference detection, it shall be possible to detect pipeline leaks and
related leak locations. This is part of the scope.
The DAS shall be foreseen for the new pipeline system with provision of information at Control
Center.
14.8.2 Door Switches
The buildings at remote locations, which are not permanently manned, shall be equipped with
door and window switches that shall be connected to the local station control system.
Information – open/closed/failure – shall be forwarded to the related control system.
To indicate intrusion an alarm shall be automatically generated in case a key switch, installed
inside the building, will not be used in a defined time frame from entering into the building.
