Vaults
What Are Meter Vaults?
Contractors and utilities are often faced with the need for some rather large, complex piping and device assemblies – these include backflow preventers, water meters, fire line water meters, and altitude valves. The choice is simple – either build these in the field in less than desirable conditions, which is both labor intensive and expensive, or purchase a fully assembled meter vault that can quickly be installed and placed in operation.
Why Preassembled Meter Vaults?
Barger and Sons preassembled meter vaults offer a number of advantages when compared to devices built in the field. Preassembled meter vaults offer a watertight underground precast reinforced concrete vault that protects expensive hardware components. All pipe inlets and outlets feature watertight rubber boots that exceed ASTM C923 standards. Doors are placed in the top of the vaults to allow easy access in the vault – these include 36” x 36”, 48” x 72”, and custom sized doors. The vaults can also be designed so the entire concrete lid can be lifted off using a backhoe.
The watertight vault with its access door creates an optimal working environment and eases future testing, calibration, and maintenance of components. Devices assembled in the field offer none of these protections and testing, calibration, and maintenance can be a muddy nightmare! Inlets and outlets of preassembled meter vaults are accurately placed to job specifications – the difficulties of accurately cutting, threading, and assembling components in the field are virtually eliminated.
Finally, traditional field manufacture and assembly of components is both labor intensive and expensive. Preassembly of meter vault components in a shop environment with the vast array of tools available is much more efficient, bringing the best value solution to contractors and utilities.
