Getting a flow meter installed correctly from day one makes everything easier, your data is accurate, your consent conditions are met, and your verification schedule starts on the right foot. Get it wrong and you're looking at remediation costs, compliance gaps, and meters that don't perform in the field.
NZ Flow Group provide end-to-end flow meter installation in Canterbury for irrigation, municipal water and wastewater, and industrial applications. We supply the right meter, install it to manufacturer and ECan specifications, verify it with IANZ-calibrated equipment, and hand you the compliance documentation, all in one engagement. We're Blue Tick accredited by Irrigation NZ, and our installations are trusted by irrigation farmers, Canterbury councils, and industrial operators across the region.
For irrigation consent holders in Canterbury, your flow meter installation isn't just a technical job, it's a compliance obligation. ECan requires that your meter is correctly specified for your pipe size and flow rates, installed with provision for future verification, and verified to ±5% accuracy with documentation supplied to council within six months of installation.
NZ Flow Group designs and installs irrigation flow meter systems that meet these requirements from the outset. We select the right meter for your application, install it correctly, commission and test it, and carry out the initial verification using our IANZ-calibrated Flexim Fluxus F601 equipment. You receive full documentation for your ECan compliance records, and we can submit that documentation to ECan on your behalf.
For irrigation operators looking for a complete, ready-to-go metering solution, particularly in remote or off-grid locations, NZ Flow Group offers The Cabinet. This is our pre-built metering system that integrates a fully verified flow meter, telemetry, data logging, and solar power into a single stock proof and weatherproof enclosure.
The Cabinet is installed with a verified flow meter that meets ECan consent requirements under the Resource Management (Measurement and Reporting of Water Takes) Regulations 2010. A Verification Certificate is supplied with every unit, and data hosting and monitoring are provided via our cloud-based water management platform.
