Lee County Utilities – Green Meadows WTP

BCI Technologies provided full design and system integration services for Lee County’s new Reverse Osmosis/Ion Exchange (RO/IX) Water Treatment Facility at Green Meadows. The scope included engineering and fabrication of control panels, PLC programming, instrumentation setup, and equipment installation—delivering a turnkey automation and SCADA solution tailored to complex, multi-process treatment operations.

The upgraded facility increased treatment capacity from 9 MGD to 14 MGD of potable water, including:

  • 7.5 MGD from Reverse Osmosis

  • 3.9 MGD from Ion Exchange

  • 4.6 MGD from Sandstone Aquifer blending

  • 33 raw water wells ranging in depth from 40 to 870 feet

Completed on schedule and under budget, the project returned approximately $1.5 million in savings to Lee County, demonstrating BCI’s commitment to delivering high-performance infrastructure through efficient execution and expert integration.

Hillsborough County

Hillsborough County partnered with BCI Technologies to modernize its lift station communications network with a large-scale deployment of advanced cellular telemetry. The project involved upgrading over 600 remote pump stations by replacing legacy communications equipment with GE MDS Orbit 4G cellular routers, enabling faster, more reliable data transmission across the utility’s network.

BCI managed the end-to-end scope of the project, including the provision, configuration, and field installation of the routers, along with associated antennas and cabling. Our team also performed the necessary PLC configuration updates at each site to support the new cellular architecture, ensuring full system compatibility and a seamless system transition.

To accelerate deployment and reduce downtime, BCI developed a custom testing and validation application that streamlined station start-ups. This innovative approach, combined with precise project coordination and field expertise, allowed the team to complete the project ahead of schedule and within budget—delivering a scalable and future-ready communications backbone for the county’s wastewater infrastructure.

North Lee County

BCI Technologies led the system integration for the expansion of the North Lee County Water Treatment Plant, boosting reverse osmosis (RO) treatment capacity from 5 to 10 million gallons per day. Prior to the upgrade, the facility faced persistent challenges with limited capacity, reliability concerns, and inconsistent water quality.

BCI was responsible for the complete design, control panel fabrication, PLC programming, SCADA integration, equipment installation, and full startup and commissioning. This included improvements to both the plant-wide control system and well operations, along with advanced modifications to the SCADA platform to enhance visibility and overall plant performance.

The project was delivered under a progressive design-build approach, enabling technical adaptability, schedule efficiency, and cost savings. Completed on schedule and under budget, the expansion provided a critical infrastructure boost to support regional water needs.

In recognition of its success, the project was honored as the 2012 Project of the Year – Water/Wastewater by the Design-Build Institute of America (Florida Section), a testament to the high standards of execution, innovation, and collaboration demonstrated throughout.

The City of Daytona Beach

The City of Daytona Beach selected BCI Technologies to execute a full upgrade of its water plant control system—modernizing aging infrastructure with a robust, plant-wide automation solution. This comprehensive project included the design, build, programming, and installation of a new centralized control system tailored to the city's operational and regulatory needs.

BCI provided turnkey services, including the engineering and fabrication of new PLC panels, SCADA system programming using CitectSCADA, and seamless integration with the plant’s existing processes. The entire system was developed to ensure improved operator visibility, streamlined data access, and enhanced reliability across all control points.

A key success factor was BCI’s ability to complete the project while maintaining uninterrupted water production. All upgrades were implemented in a live environment, requiring careful planning, phased cutovers, and constant communication with plant staff. The result was a modern, scalable control system that increased efficiency, minimized manual operations, and laid the foundation for future plant expansion.

Lee County Utilities - Telemetry

BCI Technologies completed a large-scale upgrade of the remote telemetry infrastructure for Lee County Utilities, replacing outdated control panels at approximately 300 lift station sites. This effort significantly enhanced system reliability and improved real-time visibility across the wastewater network.

BCI furnished and installed new SCADA telemetry control panels, updated the central SCADA system to support SCADAPack RTUs, and implemented the DNP3 protocol for modern, secure data communication. As part of the upgrade, BCI also modified existing pump control panels and replaced faulty components as needed to ensure each station operated seamlessly within the new architecture.

In addition to the panel replacements and protocol upgrades, BCI provided full programming, testing, and commissioning services to ensure smooth integration with the county’s existing SCADA environment. The project was carefully staged to avoid service disruptions, with each site brought online efficiently to maintain continuous lift station operation throughout the transition.

The City of Marco Island

As part of the Marco Island WRF Expansion Phase 2, BCI Technologies was contracted to deliver a comprehensive upgrade to the facility’s control infrastructure. Working from detailed engineering plans and specifications, BCI designed, built, programmed, and installed a new control system while also modifying the existing Wonderware SCADA platform to support the facility’s expanded operations.

The Marco Island Water Reclamation Facility utilizes the Modified Ludzack-Ettinger (MLE) biological nutrient removal process, requiring precise control over multiple treatment stages including screening, equalization, biological processing, membrane filtration, and disinfection. BCI’s integration work ensured that the new control system effectively manages these complex processes—enhancing system visibility, enabling real-time adjustments, and maintaining regulatory compliance. The result is a more efficient, reliable operation supporting both environmental goals and the island’s reclaimed water demands.

“Working with BCI Technologies has been a game-changer for our company. Their expertise and professionalism have helped us streamline our operations and achieve our business goals.”
