I know we all have gone through this once or more, but
hoping that one of you can help me with the issue of floor
drains......I have 69 hangars without drains.....I fought
the issue in 1995 when we developed 20 new T-hangar facilities
and I had a different building inspector......but, the
issue was the same then......in black and white in the building codes
that requires floor drains in aircraft storage
hangars.....doesn't matter what you do in them......my building inspector is
willing to review other county and city building
department reasoning as to how they go around doing the drains....so, any
assistance or if you can through me some contacts so that
I can make some calls, I will attempt to get through this
round.......we got around it the last time by sloping the
floors enough that any spill could at least drain out of the building,
we installed fire extinguishers in all hangars and more
larger units on the outside of the hangar.....had to bring a water
line down to the hangar area (and buy my fire department
1,000 feet of hose in the interim.....another story...) and, set
up new rules and procedures on what can and can't be done
in the hangar, and, put fuel absorbant materials in all
hangars....worked then, doesn't matter this time........
