It's been forever since I bid one but would you start a Lowes Garden Center and work your way down?
Nick Maneen, SET c 704.791.7789 From: Sprinklerforum [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Steve Leyton via Sprinklerforum Sent: Tuesday, December 17, 2019 11:51 AM To: [email protected] Cc: Steve Leyton Subject: Hazard Group? We're working on a maintenance warehouse for a community college, set on a very large campus with lots of landscape. They are combining landscape and maintenance departments, so supplies range from grounds-keeping to whatever they need in the built environment, from fertilizers and athletic field marking paints to asphaltic coatings to sanitizers and clarifiers for landscape (higher volumes of pool chems for aquatics center not to be stored here), adhesives, solvents, lubricants, and low grade stuff like construction materials and hardware. There will also be 5 gallon latex paint buckets ("a few"), and 7-10 containers of gasoline and pre-mixed fuels not exceeding 35 gallons total. Only fertilizers and seed are in larger quantities, bagged on pallets with a pallet here and a pallet there, otherwise products are in consumer-sized packaging. Commodities will only be present in exempt amounts and while a few are highly reactive, except for fuels and solvents none are flammable liquids. Individually, there's not any one compelling hazard that defines the storage but taken together we have some kinda' fire load and would value opinions on what kinda' fire load that is. I'm leaning toward EH2 because . well, because I'm lazy. Water pressure's okay, building isn't that very big (less than 8,000 sq. ft.) and max roof height is 17'. We're assuming rack storage (since they aren't going to have a fixture plan before we have to submit) and a max height of 15'. If anyone's got the time to throw a dart at this equation, I'd appreciate the input.
