Exactly. Just the spray booth and prep booths were > $70K back then...without installation and accessories.
 
Re: Spray Booth Fire Protection

I see some irony in the "Please keep doors closed" sign.

EDIT: FMWB beat me to it.
 
Re: Spray Booth Fire Protection

Rjj,

Teaching a class to new state inspectors next month. Can I use these pictures since I'll be teaching the LSC and if references NFPA 33 and these shots would be great when I get to Industrial Occupancies and Hazardous Locations. I'll give you full photo credit of course?
 
Re: Spray Booth Fire Protection

I have a few more that may be of some interest. I will attach to email and forward. I will return to this site on Monday and have some more. I have many different issues at this complex in need of correction.

I have a paint spray both being reassembled that came in from Canada. The booth has a dual sprinkler system in it, one standard pendant head and a deluge head approximately 6" away. The deluge system appears to be manually operated, but still checking further. Is there a requirement for a redundant system in the spray booth or was this a canadian thing? I can not find where a dual system would be required, so I ask the experts.

I just got involved with a project for the painting of auto bumpers. The designer provided a deluge system, .60 over the entire booth, flame detection with a deluge valve, with wet pipe sprinklers as a back up. I asked where did he get the design from and he told me it was based on a Factory Mutual design he used on the last job from the auto industry. It is a good size booth, 48' long by 16' wide, with a few robots, at $500K each, so i did not say you do not need the deluge system. I was concerned where the 1000 gpm from the deluge system was going to go when it activated. So depending on what the application is/was they may have had FM involved with the booth.
