Brock Solutions Awarded Region of Peel Wastewater Treatment Project

April 6, 2020

Brock Solutions is pleased to announce the recent award by the Region of Peel of the Clarkson and GE Booth Wastewater Treatment Plant Instrument Control Panel consolidation project.

Over the next two years, the team will work alongside the Region of Peel to consolidate their I&C design and documentation and bring it up to current standard. Brock’s extensive experience with Inductive Automation’s Ignition platform will ensure a seamless integration into the existing, Ignition-based SCADA system.

“We are seeing a trend” says Alexander Beverly, Water Lead at Brock Solutions, “of similar programs where regions are looking to replace obsolete, legacy technology that is vulnerable to intrusion and system disruption. They are coming to Brock because we have the size, scale and unique simulation approach to ensure risk is mitigated, and to deploy modern solutions designed for long-term sustainability”.
