Topics of
Discussion:
Fire Hydrants Fred would like to cut some costs on 19 hydrants and see how the costs of the project are going. Hydrants cost and estimated $2,500 per hydrant. Specs package includes 19 fire hydrants. Water will be available but not recognized fire flow at these hydrants.
Tank Bottom 4 to 8 tank penetration- 8 stub is rotten out and water is weeping through the welds. Back flow preventer was Rich concern. Lack of room and space is a concern for Rich two boosters going into an altitude valve. Mercoid valve and bigger check valves. Instead of a pressure regulating valve. Fred presented a picture with each independent pump having a check valve.
Interior Tank Painting Epoxy Coating DEP approved will be used to apply to interior of the main tanks. Pumps will be running and temporary tanks will be used on site to balance the system. VFDs will be used to balance the system on single phase motor. Fred is going to respond after investigating and will provide more information.
Two storage tanks will need to be on site and locations. This will be a concern on the location of these two storage tanks while painting the tanks.
