As mentioned by another-contributor-who-is-often-sharper-than-us-collectively, tertiary power is a misdirection if there is only a single intention for source of water.
I was an plan reviewer for 2 hours on a Miami metro project to be installed on the waterfront and to occupy 1 if not more city blocks. The FP stated there would only be one source of water. I never got my dissenting comment heard. "what certainty justifies only one water source for such a large project and risk hazard exposure?" Eliminate the weakest links first, and though water source is certainly an essential link, a performance of zero-for-three fire pumps should make some risk assessors sit up and think. Such poor performance doesn't surprise me, in the U.S.A. at least. ANZ alternatively, is pretty keen on keeping their pumps tested and working. What does surprise me is how little people seem to care about the reliability of their strategies. I guess the not enough risky hedge fund managers have crossed over into tort, thankfully. But we should be policing ourselves, before the lawyers make a handsome living by policing our policy before us. scot deal Excelsior Fire Engineering -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
