In the event of an unexpected fire at ISKI Bulgurlu Pumping Station, which meets the water needs of one of the most important regions of Istanbul, it created a great difficulty in terms of both workforce and time. This situation required the entire water pumping system to be quickly revised and commissioned. As Cedetaş Engineering and Technology Inc. we, with our years of experience and engineering knowledge, took swift action to overcome this challenge and successfully completed the project design, production and commissioning processes.

Project Initiation: Fire and Emergency Response:
The fire at the water pumping station had rendered the critical driver panels unusable. These panels played a vital role in controlling the water pumps in the area and ensuring that water was pumped uninterruptedly. This station, which meets the water needs of a large area of Istanbul, is a system that directly affects the lives of the people. A fast and effective solution had to be found to prevent water cuts and ensure the continuity of the network.
At this point, Cedetaş Engineering and Technology Inc. stepped in. As a company specialized in areas such as automation systems, fire, security and medium voltage soft starter panels, our company had the ability to produce the fastest solution in this emergency.
First Intervention with Temporary Panels and Emergency Solution after the fire, Iski installed temporary driver panels and started to run the engines. However, the most challenging aspect of the project was the short timeframe and the need to ensure water supply was maintained. Therefore, all necessary steps were taken quickly to revise the panels in a short period of time and activate the system.
Our project team, the experienced engineers of Cedetaş Engineering and Technology Inc., carried out exploration and project planning in a short time. During this process, our company provided rapid and effective solutions and ensured the continuity of the system.
Revision and Commissioning of New Starting Panels:
After ensuring the water supply was maintained through a temporary solution, work began on the design and installation of new driver panels. As Cedetaş Engineering and Technology Inc., we quickly carried out on-site revisions with driver panels and other automation systems at the highest quality standards. The commissioning of these systems was a critical step in restoring the damage caused by the fire.
The commissioning of the new panels not only repaired the existing fire damage but also introduced significant innovations that will enhance the system’s future security. At every step, potential risks were minimized by installing state-of-the-art automation solutions and security systems.

Overcoming Challenges and Results:
Our implementation and production team made a great effort to renovate the water pumping station in the shortest time and with minimal downtime.
As a result, Cedetaş Engineering and Technology Inc. successfully completed the overhaul of this important water pumping station in Istanbul, ensuring that it continues to meet the region’s water needs without interruption.
The success of a project is possible by producing and implementing the right solutions at the right time, beyond just technical knowledge. Cedetaş Engineering and Technology Inc. consistently advances with this vision, providing its clients with safe, uninterrupted, and effective solutions.
