The building stock in Ķekava is changing fast — new residential developments, detached-house districts and industrial sites along the Via Baltica corridor. We work with all of these property types.
Ķekava is a southern suburb of Riga where a great many new houses have gone up in recent years, while older building stock and a substantial industrial sector remain. For water meter work that means a wide range of situations: from a tidy assembly in a new house to an old system where even the shut-off valve no longer works.
The municipality also takes in Baloži and a broad network of villages, so the address “Ķekava municipality” on its own tells you nothing about the working conditions. The type of property you give us in your request tells us more than the name of the town.
New residential developments. In the newest districts the metering point is usually in a plant room and easy to reach. Here it is more often a matter of a first installation or an additional metering point than of replacing an old meter.
Older detached houses. In the older districts the systems vary, and the assembly may be in a basement or an unheated room. In properties like these you more often have to reckon with replacing the shut-off valve at the same time.
Industrial and logistics sites. The Via Baltica corridor has attracted manufacturing and food industry businesses. At commercial sites the metering is usually split, and the work has to be planned so that it does not disrupt production.
The town-to-country transition zone. Closer to the Daugava and in the village areas the development becomes more scattered. Here the meter is more often outside the house, and access depends on the weather and the road surface.
Owners in new residential developments. Properties with a tidy assembly, where it is usually a matter of a first installation or an additional metering point.
Owners of older detached houses. Here a full replacement is more often needed, sometimes together with a new shut-off valve.
Representatives of industrial and logistics sites. Sites with split metering, where the work has to be planned so that it does not disrupt operations.
Owners in the villages and rural areas. More scattered development, where access depends on the local roads.
In Ķekava we work with properties of widely differing ages, so we always tailor the service to the particular situation. The meter is included.
Removing the old meter and fitting a new one — the most requested job in Ķekava.
A metrological check at an accredited laboratory — we arrange the whole process.
You fill in the form, giving the type of property and, if you know it, roughly how old the building is — in Ķekava that makes a real difference to the work.
We reply and agree a time for the work. For commercial sites in Ķekava we arrange the time so that it does not clash with the site's busiest period.
We carry out the removal of the old meter and the installation of the new one.
We seal the meter and prepare the replacement certificate with the recorded readings.
In Ķekava municipality the age of the building stock varies enormously — two properties a few kilometres apart may have been built thirty years apart. In practice that means the age of the house or the period it was built in, given in your request, tells us more than the address does. If you are close to the A7 corridor and the property is commercial, we arrange the timing of our visit so that it does not clash with the site's busiest working hours.
In Ķekava municipality the differences in the age of buildings are so great that the same service name can mean two completely different jobs. In a new house it is a half-hour task with a tidy assembly. In an older house it may mean replacing the shut-off valve first, because without one the water cannot be safely turned off at all.
That is exactly why the request form asks about the type of property and, if you know it, roughly how old the building is. That single line tells us more than the address and lets us arrive with the right parts.
At industrial sites in Ķekava the most common constraint is time. We plan the work to fit the site's schedule, and where there are several metering points we deal with them one after another rather than all at once — that way production is not halted for the whole duration of the job.
In Ķekava municipality we work with private individuals as well as with property managers and industrial sites. For properties with several metering points, the quote is prepared after a survey. There is more detail about building- and site-wide work in the section for property managers.
Alongside Ķekava we also cover these areas. Distances are approximate.
