Description:
The following design manual details how a electromagnetic flow meter (meter) is to be installed
within GVWs systems. This will enable GVW to accurately measure the volume and flow rate of water
entering, leaving and within water storages, Water Treatment Plants (WTP), Wastewater Management
Facilities (WMF), Sewerage Pump Stations (SPS) and the reticulation network; as well as to monitor
non revenue water (NRW) losses such as evaporation seepage, process water disposal and
reticulation leaks.
For preferred actual locations for flow meter installations please see Sub Metering Design Manual.
Objective:
To ensure flow meters are installed to allow for accurate tracking of volumes and flow rates.

Meter priority
GVW classes its meters based on priority. This is used to determine installation requirements,
ongoing maintenance and replacement of the meter. Meters shall be classed as follows;
Priority 1 (P1) Meters for ESC requirements and revenue, WTP raw water and flow to town
Priority 2 (P2) SPS to WMF, WMF tertiary treatment inflow and flow to rivers.
Priority 3 (P3) Other SPS, internal plant, onsite irrigation and all others.

Pre-delivery inspection
A pre delivery diagnostic check is to be conducted on the meter in the factory before delivery
to the site. This is to provide a finger print of the meter for future reference.

Pit requirements
All below ground meters are to be installed in a pit, see Diagram B. Pit lids shall be light weight
and easily opened. Bollards to be installed to protect pit from vehicle traffic loads.

Gaskets
Neoprene gaskets are to be fitted on both flanges of the flow sensor.
14.
Cables
Cables between the sensor and transmitter are to be run in a separate conduit and not run
with power cables.
Cables between the transmitter and SCADA equipment are to be run in a separate, good
quality screened conduit and not run with power cables.

Injection points
Chemical injection points are not to be installed near meters. If injection points are required
near a meter then they shall be installed 20 diameters downstream of the meter.
16.
Transmitters
Transmitters or readouts are to be securely mounted in an easily accessible location out of
direct sunlight. They may be installed in a suitably sized cabinet with an isolation switch.
17.
Meter terminations
All terminations are shall be as per the manufactures specifications and not as per general
electrical terminations.

Flow checking
Installation to allow enough room left for flow check by clamp on meter (only P1 meters
when in a pit).P1 meters flow checking point to be reviewed before installation.
