“In addition, over the next decade we expect the project to save us tens of millions of dollars and generate much-needed high-paying jobs for our community. “This overhaul will give us better effectiveness and efficiency to meet the city’s needs and improve its overall infrastructure for decades to come,” said Varouj Abkian, assistant director, Los Angeles Bureau of Sanitation. About 80 new jobs will be created in Los Angeles as a result of the project. Honeywell will provide support services for eight years after completion to ensure the system is appropriately maintained. The project is scheduled to begin in the first half of 2012 and will take approximately seven years to complete. The project will enable the city to more effectively and efficiently monitor operations at the city’s pumping stations and collection facilities that are scattered throughout more than 500 square miles of the city’s service area. The Honeywell technology will allow the city to link its four main treatment plants with geographically dispersed pumping stations to give operators the ability to control the entire system from a central location, if needed.

lifecycle cost), offered relevant experience with distributed control systems and demonstrated the project management team’s expertise. Honeywell ranked first in all of the city’s evaluation criteria, was found to have exhibited the most advanced product technology, offered the lowest price of ownership (i.e. Honeywell Process Solutions was awarded the contract by Los Angeles with a recommendation by the Board of Public Works and final approval by the City Council. The system capacity is 550 million gallons of wastewater each day, and controls 6,700 miles of sewer lines that serve more than 4 million residential and commercial customers in Los Angeles and 29 other cities. It will also enable the city to realize its vision for a city- and network-wide integrated operation, simplifying how it operates and maintains the wastewater system, and reducing environmental risks from the aging infrastructure. The project will allow the city’s Bureau of Sanitation to replace the current control systems, some of which have been in place for two decades and are vastly outdated.
