Planning for water retention systems could begin from Szigetköz to Nyírség

The staff at VIZITERV Environ Környezetvédelmi és Vízügyi NKft. were looking for partners for a design project. According to the public procurement notice, a total of 88 million forints will be allocated to eleven sub-tasks; these will primarily cover the country’s most at-risk areas:

• The capacity of the Homokhátság catchment area in the Tiszaalpár region could be improved by Turbo Tech Hungary Kft.
• You can work on the following elements of the CIVAQUA programme, which was launched to save the Hajdúhátság region: ELCOM Elektronikai és Kereskedelmi Kft. and the Turbo Tech Hungary Kft.
• The development of water management in the Northern Nyírség region is pending ELCOM Kft.-;
• and as for water retention in the Szigetköz, the Controlsoft-Automatika Szolgáltató Kft. and the ELCOM Kft. can work.
• Plans may be drawn up for the uppermost section of the Eastern Main Canal Controlsoft-Automatika Kft., the ELCOM Kft. and the Turbo Tech Hungary Kft. is.

The design of monitoring, control and power supply systems is set to begin across the country

The CIVAQUA programme was established to develop water management in Hajdúhátság, where, under the current phase, plans can now be drawn up for the comprehensive hydrological and water-quality improvements to water replenishment and distribution systems. The successful bidders must design a hydrological monitoring system, as well as the programme’s complete, comprehensive control system, in a manner that is coordinated with the existing hydrological and water quality monitoring system.

In addition to ensuring the integrity and operation of the elements completed in previous phases and those newly designed, a review of the 0.4 kV network at the HTVR pumping station and the design of its complex electrical network must be carried out. Furthermore, a KIF electricity supply system covering the entire area of the CIVAQUA programme must be designed in coordination with the water replenishment operational control and hydrological monitoring system.

As part of the development of water management in the Northern Nyírség, the planning task involves a hydrological monitoring system, for which the successful bidders will be required to carry out detailed design work for a simple remote monitoring station, as well as six facilities and one additional water flow measurement station. The control systems design for this sub-region involves the design of a stand-alone system, in which seven facilities are to be developed to the detailed design stage.

As part of the Szigetköz Insula Magna international project – Implementation of the water management tasks required for the sustainable Szigetköz innovation pilot project. Here, the companies are tasked with designing a hydrological monitoring system, including a simple remote monitoring station and the detailed design of five facilities; planning well measurements; and developing the detailed design for a further facility.

With regard to control systems, the design task is to design an island-type system in which three facilities must reach the as-built stage.

The planning of the electricity supply for Tiszaalpár is intended to support the replenishment of the Szikrai and Alpári-Holt-Tisza water bodies, as well as the improvement of the ecological status of the Tisza catchment area in the Közép-Homokhátság region. As part of this, the tasks relating to the planning of the electricity supply must include an assessment of the possibility of connecting to the high-voltage electricity distribution network and the feasibility of securing alternative energy supplies (solar, wind, hydroelectric power, etc.).

The first section (the impoundment section) of the Eastern Main Canal and its branch canals is affected by river channel reconstruction works. Here too, it will be necessary to design a hydrological monitoring system, which will involve the installation of simple remote signalling stations at nine locations and the establishment of water flow measurement points at seven locations. The canal’s control system must be island-based. The complex automation of this water management facility will also be carried out via remote control and remote monitoring. Detailed design is required at nine locations.

When planning the electricity supply for the Eastern Main Canal, the designers must examine the possibility of connecting to the high-voltage electricity distribution network (primary, above 0.4 kV); to this end, plans must be drawn up to tender stage at two locations. A further design task is to ensure the power supply required to operate the two water distribution sluices located in the first bay of the Eastern Main Canal by connecting to the external primary network.
