Outcomes

Module 1 - Normal Wet Weather Operation:

The module will provide Delegates with the understanding of the LTT SCADA normal wet weather operation, the systems required to provide the information within LTT SCADA and how the system will operate in automatic mode.  On completion of the training, Delegates are expected to understand:

  • The purpose of the LTT SCADA Supervisory PLC;
  • The Tunnel Control mimics;
  • The tunnel ventilation system in automatic mode
  • The worksite Tunnel level in Normal wet weather mode;
  • How to manually amend potential spill events.

 

Module 2 - Plant Exercise Systems:

The module will provide Delegates with the information and practical experience needed to run exercises on the systems provided by the System integrator.  On completion of the training, Delegates are expected to understand:

  • The data exchange between the Worksite and the LTT SCADA (Supervisory PLC);
  • How to set and reset exercise routines;
  • The Exercise Routine Alarms;
  • The required setpoints.

 

Module 3- Extreme Wet Weather Operation:

This module will provide delegates with the skills needed to understand and operate the LTT SCADA System during extreme wet weather.  On completion of the training, Delegates will be expected to understand:

  • The Met Office Interface;
  • How the LTT SCADA reads the Met Office data;
  • How to set Extreme Wet Weather Mode;
  • How to extend Extreme Wet Weather Mode;
  • How to deactivate Extreme Wet Weather Mode;
  • How to view Extreme Wet Weather Mode events.

Competency/Skills Requirements

Before attending the training, Delegates are expected to complete:

It is recommended that Delegates complete:

Similar courses

This course covers two training modules. On the completion of the course, Delegates will understand the status of tunnel-wide operations; be able to view the Lee Tunnel mimics and understand the status of the Lee Tunnel. Delegates will also understand the interface between the Regional and LTT SCADA and will know how to monitor the status of all worksites, including the status of plant equipment across the LTT.

More Information

This course covers two training modules. On completion of the course, Delegates will understand and know how to amend setpoints within LTT SCADA and understand how operational tasks within LTT SCADA are managed and processed.

More Information

This course covers two training modules. On completion of the course, Delegates will understand how to recognise failures and how they are presented within the LTT SCADA, including the alarms associated with each type of failure. The course will include telecommunication, device, and power failures.
