So I’m buying a warehouse from the 1950s and not sure if it’s going to require sprinklers or not. Regardless it’s something I wanted to consider. I called a couple companies hopefully they’ll come out by next week but just trying to get a general idea of how much a standard metal fire sprinkler system is going to cost. It’s 30K square feet and the ceiling is open for the runs.
I’m thinking about buying a cold storage warehouse and it uses ammonia refrigerant but I only need the building for dry storage. I don’t want to deal with the compliance headache of checklists etc because ammonia leaks can be a nightmare and also I asked how much to keep the lines active and it’s like $8K/month in electric costs to run the system.
I’ll try to get some more info as to how many pounds of refrigerant are inside there. It’s 20k sqft with 3 MYCOM compressors.
I was going to call around to various refrigeration companies to figure out who can help with this.
Just wondering if anyone has run into something similar. Is it a simple project or involved? And should I ask for anything special like running the lines with something to protect them in case a future owner wants to use it for cold storage?
I paid for a signature for this package here and as you can see it shows "delivery location Front Door"
How do I get proof of the signature or waiver?
