Water
At Compass we specialize in water meter change-out programs and meter retrofitting. Whether it’s one component or module upgrades, Commercial or Residential we can accommodate your needs. With a modern engineered drilling machine, we can cut holes of desired diameter thru cast steel, reinforced concrete, or concrete composite lids and covers to accommodate (TTL) Thru the Lid antennas when needed. Compass also offers full replacement of components from the City Service Lines to the customer Side Lines including box replacements and resets, adding back flow preventers, valve and coupling replacements and curb stop maintenance.
Gas
At Compass we offer gas meter retrofitting and Endpoint Installation services. Whether multi-faceted or stand-alone gas systems, we can provide the manpower and expertise to implement the desired solution in the timeframe needed to realize the solution benefits as quickly as possible. We also recognize the challenges of deploying small gas systems as well as multi state systems.
Electric
At Compass we offer residential and commercial electric meter change out and retrofitting solutions. With management experience of successful completed projects ranging from a few thousand to multi-million meter deployments, we can accommodate any electric project, large or small.
Custom Solutions
We do a lot, but what we don’t do is offer one-size-fits-all, cookie-cutter solutions. Compass is known for delivering fully-custom programs. Often times, however, Utilities don’t need or want a full, end-to-end turnkey program. Instead, many benefit from individualized services to address specific needs. We stand in where other Utility Consulting companies can’t; Compass offers a wide range of standalone field and professional Utility services to help utilities achieve their goals.
Field Services
Understanding Your Unique Needs
Understanding your Utility’s existing infrastructure should be the first step in any technology upgrade. In order to determine an appropriate solution and budget, a comprehensive assessment must be completed. A Compass Utility Infrastructure Audit identifies and evaluates the condition of existing system components, and assists in the design of a custom solution.
Our Utility Infrastructure Audit service enables Utility managers to understand what is currently in place and any potential risks to be aware of during the project. This knowledge leads to a more accurate estimation of required costs, manpower, and equipment. Additionally, a Compass Utility Infrastructure Audit provides justification for the project, which can aid in gaining approval from your City’s governing body. Not performing this study could lead to significant schedule delays, increased costs, and, in extreme cases, project abandonment.
Meter Installation - Don’t Go It Alone
Compass Advanced Metering Systems rely on many components to operate effectively. Therefore, the system needs to be properly installed and integrated to ensure your Utility is receiving all of the benefits. And while it’s not impossible for Utilities to manage meter installation and integration projects on their own, enlisting the help of an experienced partner is recommended.
