It is about 19'x7' and 10 feet deep and covered with an open grated steel panel. Top of the steel panel is level with the adjacent ground floor level. Someone said it was to collect rain water but I need to get that confirmed. It could even be that the other floor drains drained into this tank and was pumped out. Anyway, this space is non-combustible, but could collect debris that would fall through the open grate panel. The question is, does it have to be sprinklered? I would say NO, but is there anything in the code to justify that position?
