Sewer Pump Station

[RJJ]

If a sewer pump station is to be classified as a U occupancy what fire code requirements would you apply. I have three is a sewer collection system that will be constructed and separated from other structures more that 100 '. The will be located more that a mile apart. The Largest one will be 24' x 24' and contain no storage of chemicals.

With in the structure only electrical controls, pumps are to be external in wet wells.

Not much other than some form of access which the utility company will need for service and repair anyway.

For fire extingushment, I would determine what chems might be used. Then I would talk to a FPE about what to use for a possible fire. A clean agent, such Halon, halotron, FE 236 or de-ionized water might work.

I would also think about a wireless heat or smoke that would send a signal to notify someone. That could also be used to shut off any power, or chemical feeds.
