Hi Ron:

I hoped someone would respond to this topic that had information on the second building...... glad it was you. It is my understanding that they were both done for Martin Selig. I heard that they had major problems in the second building. The issues may have been the incoming water quality and the lack of treatment.

I hope to be there on Tuesday.

I wondered how long it would be before this hit the list. About twenty
years ago I went to do a T.I. on a five story building in a suburb of
Seattle.  At first I couldn't make heads or tails of the system. The
building engineer knew how to work it so while he was explaining it he
also was telling me its history. According to him this building system
(tri-water) was installed as a test bed before committing to 75
stories of Columbia Tower. During the T.I. every head I pulled was
full of scale. I brought this to the engineer's attention so he could
inform the owner and joked about not going in the big black box. Since
then I've wondered when this would begin. Mike, comimg to the meeting
Tuesday?
