Tender Description

Cairns Regional Council is inviting submissions from suitably qualified and experienced suppliers/contractors for the supply and installation of flowmeters to replace the existing ABB Magmaster flowmeters at various wastewater treatment plants within the Cairns region.

 
ABB MagMaster flowmeters have been used throughout Council's assets, including the sewerage network, sewerage pump stations, water network and all the treatment plants.
 
The ABB MagMaster flowmeters have been obsolete for a number of years and are now no longer supported by ABB. CRC's maintenance crew have previously been able to verify and certify these meters using an ABB CheckMaster verification tool. Unfortunately, this has also been removed from the ABB support line, meaning ABB MagMaster flowmeters can no longer be certified
 
An internal audit of all flowmeters at the Wastewater Treatment Plants was conducted and thirty flowmeters have been flagged as possibly requiring replacement or modification that are ABB branded. CRC should be replacing these flowmeters before they get damaged, this will provide additional transmitter to help restock the critical spares.
 
The works include but not limited to;
  • Procurement of replacement flowmeters.
  • Organise shutdown requirements for each listed flowmeter.
  • Remove and dispose of existing flowmeter (Transmitters to be stored in CRCs Spares)
  • Install replacement flowmeters as per manufactures methodology.
  • Commission and verify each flowmeter, confirming correct operation & integration to SCADA system
