I am looking at a recycling facility for construction debris that has large indoor piles for wood, asphalt shingles, etc. Storage height is to 25 ft. The existing sprinkler system was designed based on the storage requirements for solid-piled/palletized storage of Class III Commodities outlined in NFPA 13. I believe that such storage falls outside the scope of this chapter. However, I am unable to find any guidance elsewhere to address this storage.
Does anyone have any additional thoughts about the protection of such piles? David Bitton, ing. Quest Loss Control Services Inc.
