SCADA SYSTEM TO BE INSTALLED BY THE END OF NOVEMBER
YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 15, ARMENPRESS: Armenian-Russian HayRusGazArd
company said today it will accomplish the installation of SCADA
system by the end of November. According to the company’s deputy
chief manager Ashot Hovsepian, the SCADA equipment cost is $400,000,
which does not include the cost of its installation and putting into
operation.
The SCADA system will allow to collect updated information from
all main pipelines supplying natural gas to Armenia across Georgia.
The work for its installation began in 2003 October as part of TACIS
assistance to Armenia. The system will allow the company to maintain
reliable communication to ensure the safety operation of the pipeline
and decrease losses. The system will be the first one among former
Soviet republics.
