peer agreement (net): +1fire protection reservoir Explanation: Obviously, since well drilling is E.H. Renner and Sons’ business, drilling the well would be the easy part. However, ensuring that the fire suppression system has the necessary capacity would typically require excavating a massive reservoir to store water that the system could draw from in the event of a fire. In fact, a furniture mall located very close to the Renner facility had just such a FIRE PROTECTION RESERVOIR located below their building (a sort of "wet basement", if you will). Of course, this solution would add significant expense to the Renner project and would create additional maintenance responsibilities and costs http://www.danfoss.com/North_America/NewsAndEvents/Archive/D... |

water reserve for firefighting Explanation: The building has a water reserve for firefighting of about 46,000 liters. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 days (2012-10-03 04:24:33 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Thank you for the thought, Ana, but I am quite content to see Lindsay get the points. I try not to get too hung up on them. As you say, the system doesn't allow distribution, but it probably averages out over time. Happy translating! |
