MUSCAT, Oman – Electric automation company AUMA has secured a project to provide actuators to the Public Authority for Electricity & Water (PAEW) in Oman.

Known as T63, the project includes the supply of 128 SA multi-turn electric actuators with AC actuator controls and Modbus RTU communications to automate the water distribution system in Oman.

Modernizing the Omani water distribution network involves work at 54 locations across the country, which measures some 900 km north to south. AUMA’s SA actuators will be used in nine pumping stations, 20 reservoirs, 28 filling stations for water tank trucks, and a well field.

The provided actuation solution includes powerful diagnostics, time-stamped event reporting, and integration with PAEW’s asset management system.

AUMA said a key part of the project lies in physically connecting the actuators to a wide range of existing valve types and sizes, supplied by at least nine different manufacturers. Many of these have non-standard dimensions for mounting actuators, requiring customised adapters.

Local AUMA staff visited more than 35 different sites to measure the valves and investigate the specific valve and actuator requirements.

AUMA then created the drawings needed to manufacture the adapters and assisted local EPC contractor Waleed Associates LLC with the manufacturing process.
