Safe, reliable water is one of the most essential services a community has. Behind every treatment plant, pump station and reservoir is a network of operational technology – SCADA, telemetry, communications and security systems – that keeps water flowing and quality under control. L2iQ brings that technology together and makes it work as one.
Like a railway, a motorway, an energy network or a data centre, a water network is critical infrastructure. It depends on a reliable communications backbone, secure networks and accurate, real-time data – often across hundreds of sites spread over a wide area. Every system must be proven before it goes live and kept running for decades. That is the work we know best.
We support water utilities, councils, operators and their delivery partners – from systems engineering and design through to integration, testing, commissioning and ongoing maintenance.
Water and wastewater networks rely on a set of operational technology systems that must work together and report back to a central control room
monitor and control treatment processes, pumps, valves and storages, giving operators a real-time view of the whole network.
connect remote pump stations, reservoirs and sewage sites so they can be monitored and operated from the control room.
optical fibre, radio and mobile networks that carry critical data reliably between sites, even in remote and hard-to-reach locations.
resilient, segmented networks and secure remote access that protect treatment and telemetry systems from cyber threats.
real-time data from instruments and analysers so operators can act quickly to keep water safe.
remote eyes on unmanned sites, helping detect intrusion, vandalism and safety incidents.
secures treatment plants, pump stations and reservoirs and alerts operators to any unauthorised entry.
tracks the health of pumps, motors and other key equipment so issues are found and fixed before they cause an outage.
Water and sewerage is a critical infrastructure sector under the SOCI Act, and larger utilities have obligations to register their assets, report cyber incidents and maintain a critical infrastructure risk management program. Water systems are a known target for cyber attack, and a compromised control system can put public health at risk. We design and integrate operational technology with security built in, so utilities can protect their networks and meet their SOCI obligations.
Water networks never switch off, and the communities they serve depend on them every day. Our whole-of-life approach means operational technology is integrated properly, thoroughly verified before go-live, and supported for the long term – so systems stay safe, secure and available.
