Do they have maintenance personnel that can assist you? I really have had the same problem, but when you get the guys that have to work on it involved they can provide some welcome support.
Good luck.

Scott, you understand my concerns. Unfortunately this is a challenging client and you better have any requirement opinion backed up with documentation otherwise it's just an opinion for what that's worth. Craig L.

No code restrictions, but certainly foam systems concerns. 55 gallon drums to second floor with stairs? Bladder tanks? Lay 'em down to replace bladder that gets torn. Craig, am I missing something? If not, I've seen this before and it gets ugly real fast. I've worked on an existing hanger that they buried the big tanks in a corner, tore the bladder and have to cut the roof open to lift them out, to lay it down, to replace it.

I've got a real-estate problem. I have an Industrial process structure which requires a second fire protection valve room for a supplementary foam system consisting of 6 deluge risers and foam concentrate tank. Owner says there's no room around the building so stack it on top of the existing fire sprinkler riser room. This is a high hazard operation. While I'm digging through codes I was wondering if anyone here knew off the top of their head any specific code prohibitions to their idea? I need chapter and verse to show them if it's not permitted or recommended. Thanks, Craig L.
