ADNOC ICSS/SCADA Modification – FDIS ScopeIn 2024, EMI was awarded a contract to provide remote and offsite services for the ICSS/SCADA modification project under the FDIS scope at ADNOC Onshore Headquarters, focusing on RTUs at Clusters #43 and #47. Partnering with Schneider Electric, the project encompassed system design, PI tag configuration, graphics deployment, and thorough testing to improve monitoring and control capabilities across five ADNOC clusters. EMI’s approach emphasized remote execution, minimizing onsite presence while maintaining high standards of quality and coordination. |
The project involved gathering detailed system requirements remotely, designing a robust FDIS architecture, and configuring over 500 PI tags within the existing system. EMI deployed 20 ProcessBook graphics based on approved templates to enhance operational visibility. Despite the remote nature, comprehensive Site Acceptance Testing (SAT) was conducted with client collaboration to ensure system readiness, followed by prompt resolution of punch list items. Detailed documentation including Functional Design Specification, SAT procedures, and method statements were delivered to support project handover and future maintenance.
Challenges included executing complex configuration and deployment activities remotely, ensuring seamless integration with existing OPC interfaces and cluster controls, and maintaining effective communication among EMI, ADNOC, and Schneider teams. EMI successfully overcame these by structured remote workshops, standardized templates, and rigorous testing protocols, resulting in a smooth and efficient project completion.
