Mr. Robitaille is a technical expert in instrumentation and control (I&C) systems, and specializes in the design and implementation of real-time control (RTC) systems.
As Project Manager, he has participated in the preparation of design studies and is the lead in the design and commissioning of RTC systems for wastewater management, pollution and flood controls on both local and international levels. In addition, Luc has hands-on experience with programming, start-up and integration of SCADA systems applied to dynamic flow control structures and RTC implementation scheme making use of automated gates for flow regulation, and storage (in-line or off-line). His extensive knowledge involves the application of flow control rules based on local and system-wide applications, reactive and predictive capabilities, water level and flow settings as well as the required control processes, fail-safe and alarms to deliver a robust and reliable system. Luc is particularly experienced at applying fail-safe devices and design features as integral part of good engineering practice as well as complementary elements of a system that includes redundant instrumentation and/or technologies that increase the reliability of a given function. Some noticeable projects include:
