Control Centers - Competencies
Our firm retains the legacy of successfully serving the energy sector since Macro’s founding in 1968. In fact, our firm’s proven strength in this practice area was a chief factor behind KEMA’s purchase of Macro in 1996.
Although the scope and scale of our firm’s work in this discipline is very much like that which we perform for the
transportation industry, this practice area serves utilities directly through our sister firm,
KEMA Consulting, to conduct operational, physical, and ergonomic analyses and to design control system management workstations and display systems. Our firm has the planning, engineering, and project management experience to design and oversee the construction and commissioning of these control centers and their related SCADA and communications systems. Our staff members have an unparalleled, practical, working knowledge of:
Wall Display Systems
Large-scale, high-definition, modular rear projection technologies configured for simultaneous, multi-source data and video display applications.
Display layout
Showing the utility’s transmission and distribution network with real-time device status.
Workstations
Highly reconfigurable and ergonomic control center workspaces containing computer displays, human interface devices (e.g. keyboards, joysticks), audio-visual systems, telecommunications, task lighting, file space, etc.
Facility & Access Control Systems
Closed-circuit television, intrusion detection, lighting systems, noise abatement, and emergency power management.
