The owner sounds uninformed about ESFR technology. Since there will be no high-piled storage (no commodity), there should be no incentive to use ESFR and deal with the flows and obstruction concerns that come with them. Why have a 54 Ft. building without high-piled storage? Sounds like a building filled with process equipment or the like - certainly a better place for the density/area approach (or comparable special design).

Is there a limit on building height for that type system. This building will NOT have rack or high piled storage.
