What’s included in a typical city gate station?
Our standard packages include filters, temperature/pressure correction, flow computers, odorization, and data telemetry – scalable for your throughput needs.
How often do stations require recertification?
DOT mandates annual inspections of relief valves and 3-year recalibration of measurement equipment – we offer scheduled maintenance programs.
Can you retrofit older stations with modern controls?
Yes. We upgrade legacy mechanical systems to electronic flow measurement (EFM) and automated pressure control while maintaining compliance.
What’s your lead time for station fabrication?
Turnkey stations typically require 8-12 weeks from design to commissioning, depending on complexity.
