In Olaine an apartment stock, detached-house areas and a significant industrial sector sit side by side. We work with all of these property types.
Olaine was purpose-built as an industrial and residential town, and that shapes the water metering picture too. In the residential centre the apartment blocks are of standard design, with predictable assemblies; in the industrial zones the metering is on a completely different scale and structure.
In practice this means it matters to us to know from your request whether you are talking about an apartment, a private house or a commercial property — both the scope of the work and our preparation depend on it.
Standard-design apartment blocks. In the residential centre the assemblies are uniform and predictable. The most common additional problem is an old shut-off valve, which in practice is worth replacing at the same time as the meter.
Industrial zones. At industrial sites the metering is often split across several points, and the work has to be planned so that it does not disrupt production. For sites like these we only prepare a quote after a survey.
Drainage and groundwater. The boggy surroundings and the drainage systems mean the groundwater level is high in parts of the area. For assemblies sited in basements and outdoor wells that means a heavier load of damp.
Detached-house areas. Outside the centre the development is more scattered, and the assembly is more often in a plant room or outside the house. Here a survey before the work lets us plan the job more precisely.
Residents of apartment blocks. In the residential centre — standard-design buildings with uniform assemblies.
Representatives of industrial sites. Sites with split metering, where the work has to be planned around production.
Owners of detached houses. Outside the centre, where the development is more scattered and each assembly is individual.
Property managers. Building-wide projects with a schedule and documentation.
In Olaine the service covers both the residential centre and the industrial zones, where the metering is on a different scale. The meter is included.
At properties with no metering and at industrial sites that need separate metering points.
You fill in the form, telling us whether this is an apartment, a private house or an industrial site — the scope of the work depends on it.
We reply and agree a time. For industrial sites in Olaine we arrange the time with the person responsible for the site.
We remove the old meter and fit the new one. In damp rooms we also assess the condition of the connections and the shut-off valve.
We seal the meter and prepare the documents; at industrial sites we complete them to the site's own procedure.
In parts of Olaine the groundwater level is high, and assemblies sited in basements are under a constant load of damp. In practice that means the connections there corrode faster, and removing them takes more care than in a dry environment. If your assembly is in a damp basement, mention it — during the survey we will assess not only the meter but the condition of the whole assembly.
In Olaine's residential centre the work usually goes quickly and predictably. The main factor that can change that is damp: the boggy surroundings and the high groundwater level mean that assemblies sited in basements age faster than they would in a dry environment. In practice this shows up as corroded connections that take more care to remove.
At industrial sites the main question is not technical but organisational. How many metering points there are, whether they can be isolated one at a time and when the site's quietest period falls — everything else follows from those answers. That is precisely why at such sites we always start with a survey.
In detached houses outside the centre the development is more scattered. If your property is further from the town, give us the address in your request — we will tell you whether a visit there makes sense and, where possible, combine it with other jobs in the same direction.
In Olaine a considerable share of properties are industrial or logistics sites. For them, sorting out the metering usually means several metering points and coordinating the work with the person responsible for the site. For more on working at sites with split metering, read the section for property managers.
Near Olaine we also cover these areas — we often combine visits.
