FACTORY-BUILT MASTER METER STATIONS
CUSTOM-ENGINEERED METER STATIONS FOR ACCURATE WATER FLOW MEASUREMENT
Accurate flow measurement is essential for system management, water accountability, billing, and monitoring transfers between utilities, pressure zones, or service areas. EFI-Solutions manufactures custom water master meter stations designed around each project’s required flow range, pipe size, metering technology, controls, and site conditions.
Above-Ground Master Meter Stations
Factory-built master meter stations housed within durable, weather-resistant enclosures. Above-grade configurations provide convenient access to metering equipment, valves, instrumentation, and controls while supporting efficient installation and long-term maintenance.
From approved shop drawings to final delivery, our factory-packaged above-ground stations are built through a streamlined subassembly process designed for maximum quality, precision engineering, and rapid field deployment.
Step 01
Concurrent Subassembly & Skid Fabrication
Upon release of shop drawings to manufacturing, fabrication begins simultaneously across specialized subassemblies—building the structural steel base, enclosure housing, and piping assemblies.
- Heavy-duty steel floor and frame welding
- Simultaneous pipe welding and structural fabrication
- Built to exact approved shop drawing specifications
Step 02
Skid Coating & Painting
Once base fabrication and pipe welding are complete, the steel skid moves through our dedicated coating facility for high-performance paint application prior to final component integration.
- Industrial-grade surface preparation
- High-durability protective finish for harsh environments
- Ensures full coating coverage beneath all mounted equipment
Step 03
Mechanical Assembly & Structural Integration
The painted skid and enclosure components are brought together at our main assembly facility, where pumps, valves, and piping networks are mounted and precisely fit.
- Marriage of structural floor skid and enclosure housing
- Precision positioning of pumps, headers, and valves
- Rigid mechanical fit-up for long-term operational stability
Step 04
Custom Control Panel & Electrical Integration
In parallel with mechanical assembly, custom control panels built in-house are installed, followed by complete internal station wiring and power distribution.
- In-house custom control panel construction
- Complete building electrical, lighting, and conduit runs
- Point-to-point system wiring between panels and equipment
Step 05
Comprehensive QC Testing & Delivery
Before shipment, every packaged station undergoes rigorous Quality Control testing to verify mechanical and electrical performance, ensuring seamless plug-and-play field installation.
- Complete functional and operational QC testing
- System performance verified before leaving the facility
- Prepped and loaded for safe job site delivery
Note:
Every EFI-Solutions station is custom-engineered to meet specific project demands. Features, component layouts, and enclosure options are tailored to your site requirements.
