| 11/14/2016 | FIRE SPKLR - UG PIPING FLUSH | Denied | Per NFPA 24 - 10.10.2.1.4 Provisions shall be made for proper disposal of water used for flushing or testing. On arrival, the responsible party wanted to flow water straight up in the air from the 4 inch fire line valve at the BOR. Their was a pad with new construction at the valve (building#4) and electric lines all around for construction. Water would not flow to a run off and would flood site and become a shock hazard. Because there is 1250 ft of 4 inch C900 pipe and it needs to flow 390 GPM ( 10 ft/sec) for the required flow rate ( per table 10.10.2.1.3 of NFPA 24) it will take a little over 2 minutes to flow all 1250 ft of pipe and it mush flush till clean; there will be a minimum of 710 gallons of water flushed and will need to be directed to an area away from construction/electric where it can achieve run off without hazard. There was no soft 4 inch line and no 4 inch line with a 90 availableand no way to safely direct runoff or achieve a flow necessary to clear all 1250 Ft of fireline. |
