We have had one case on a fire pump room riser. Metallurgist hired by lawyers said it was corrosion. Finger pointing started.
IMHO those things are fragile and subject to mechanical damage ( banged around, freezing, over tightened etc) Then corrosion seems likely to start in hairline cracks C.

The diesel engine was damaged. I have got 2 such failures in the last months. One noted above, one in another place on 3" mains. I wonder if any of the forum members experienced such failures. The brackets are of Aluminum casting. www.riskmanage.com Dan Arbel, T: +972-4-8243337; F: +972-4-8243278; M: +972-52-2810593 -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Brian Harris Sent: Thursday, September 16, 2010 17:44 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Pump Rooms Matt- The pump room is in the basement of the warehouse.
