Yeah. We get calls for this about 2-3 times per year. The owner hires
us to go out and do a survey of the system, calc it and provide the calc
plate information.
There has only been 1-2 times where we were able to find the as-built
drawings and make it really easy.
Yes, it is relatively expensive, but the fire department has been the
ones to force this, so the owner has complied.

A client of mine has posed a question.
I understand part of a system inspection is to verify the adequacy of
the water
supply. Many older buildings are missing the hydraulic placard on the
riser, and
original plans/calcs are not available.
A full-blown survey and hydraulic calculation is too expensive and the
owner
will balk at it.
Those of you who are involved in inspections, how do you handle this
and what
would you recommend?
Would a rough 'guestimate' suffice depending on the occupancy?
Thank you.
