About this asset

The Brooks Box 3MB is a Revit family utility enclosure designed for ground-level water meter protection and sub-surface access. This utility enclosure features a robust, rectangular concrete body with a recessed, matching lid. The top surface is clearly embossed with the text 'WATER METER' to ensure easy identification during site maintenance and inspections. The base includes an integrated arched opening designed to accommodate incoming and outgoing utility pipework. Its proportions are compact and utilitarian, reflecting standard industry requirements for sub-surface meter housing. The overall design is strictly functional, prioritising durability and clear labelling to support efficient site management and utility service operations in various residential or commercial exterior settings.

The download is a 420 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

In Revit, this family should be placed on a site or ground-level floor plan to accurately represent utility placement. Users can leverage the family's host-based properties to align the box with topography or paving surfaces. Because this is a civil-focused asset, it is best managed within a dedicated site plan view or a linked utility model, ensuring that all pipework connections are clearly documented and coordinated with the overall site drainage and service layout plans.

This asset is essential for civil engineers, landscape architects, and site planners working on residential developments, commercial projects, or industrial sites. It belongs in the external services layer of a project, particularly during the design and construction documentation stages when detailing utility connections and site infrastructure. Professionals will frequently search for this item when specifying external pipework, meter pits, or site access points, ensuring that critical utility components are properly accounted for in both the site model and the final construction documentation.
