• Supervise the installation, interfacing, testing and commissioning of field instruments on pump inlets, outlets, rising mains, tanks, chambers and associated infrastructure.

• Verify the installation and operation of level, flow, pressure, vibration, conductivity and other monitoring and protection devices required by the approved design.

• Review PLC, SCADA and HMI architecture, panel arrangements, input and output schedules, communications, alarms, interlocks, data logging and reporting requirements.

• Verify that hardwired and software interlocks provide the required pump protection and safe operation, including low-level, no-flow, high-pressure and flood-alarm functions.

• Review interfaces between field instrumentation, VFD or soft-starter panels, main PLCs, local SCADA, remote systems and associated electrical and mechanical equipment.

• Coordinate instrumentation requirements with the mechanical, electrical, civil, structural, process, SCADA, communications and commissioning teams.

• Witness factory inspections, Factory Acceptance Tests, Site Acceptance Tests, loop checks, calibration, point-to-point testing, functional testing and integrated system testing.
