As systems integration (SI) specialists, CH2M Hill provides full-service design, programming and commissioning for any size project including: 
• Programmable Logic Controllers
• SCADA Software / Systems
• Remote Monitoring and Internet Access Portals
• Facility Controls
• Manufacturing Process Monitoring
A winery enlisted CH2M HILL’s design, construction, and system integration services to improve production at their fermentation, storage and bottling facility. The new system included the use of DL205 PLCs and several operator interface terminals configured for alarming and local setpoint adjustment. A SCADA system was also included to provide reporting, trending and historical data collection and retrieval.
On another occasion, CH2M HILL integrated new dissolved oxygen (DO) meters and variable frequency blower drives into a wastewater plant with PID control and SCADA interface. A DirectLOGIC 405 PLC provided control, with an Ethernet interface. The new system allowed much better control of the DO levels at the plant, reducing the risk of discharging dirty water into the Columbia River. They also provided a remote access solution so operators could always see what was going on, since the plant is not staffed full time.
With complete project lifecycle capabilities, CH2M HILL covers every phase of any project including the plan, design, build, upgrade, expansion, renovation, and operation of infrastructure and facilities. Then, when assets reach the end of their useful life, CH2M HILL can decommission, decontaminate, and demolish them, while restoring the environment for new uses. With their years of expertise, CH2M HILL helps increase efficiency, improve speed to market, resolve stakeholder concerns, streamline complex project delivery issues, successfully implement first-generation technologies, maximize scope within cost constraints, and create lasting value.
