Water, Desalination & Utility SCADA and OT Security — Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia operates the world's largest desalination capacity, producing roughly nine million cubic metres of water a day across the SWCC/Saudi Water Authority estate and a growing fleet of privatised plants. Every litre depends on SCADA — controlling intake, reverse-osmosis trains, pumping, chlorination, transmission and distribution across vast distances. Skyline designs, supplies and integrates the IT and OT systems that water and wastewater utilities run on: SCADA and RTU integration, pump-station and reservoir telemetry, water-quality monitoring and the telemetry networks that link remote assets to a central control room.

Water is a no-compromise sector. A SCADA outage or a tampered chlorination setpoint isn't an inconvenience — it's a public-health and continuity event. We architect resilient, segmented control networks with ICS-aware firewalls, a hardened DMZ between plant control and corporate IT, secure remote access for vendors, and process historians that give operators the trend data to run plants efficiently and prove performance.

Water treatment, desalination and wastewater operators sit explicitly inside the NCA's OTCC-1:2022 scope as critical national infrastructure. We design with OTCC in mind from the start — asset inventory, zoning, monitoring and secure remote access — supporting your compliance path rather than retrofitting controls under audit pressure. On the efficiency side, smart metering, leak detection, flow monitoring and energy management help utilities cut non-revenue water and power costs.

• SCADA, RTU/PLC and telemetry integration for plants and networks
• Resilient OT networks, ICS firewalls and OTCC-ready secure remote access
• Water-quality, reservoir, pump-station and pipeline monitoring
• Smart metering, leak detection and energy-management analytics

As integrator and authorized reseller, Skyline brings utility-grade automation, networking and security together for Saudi water operators — built for distance, harsh climate and around-the-clock service.
