A sign of the amount of Tiger tears that will be shed tonight
In other words, 3100 actual.
I would go with 4500.
However, they still aren't going to let general admission into the empty parquet seats. Hell, I got the evil eye from the old folks around me for sitting in the parquet last year and I had bought the three tickets. If we hadn't been in our 60's they would probably have called the ashers even though the section was 75% empty around Christmas.
If this was a fire suppression pipe that broke, it could be a longer deal than just the cleanup. They are probably going to have to investigate why it broke, and determine if there is a system-wide issue.
I would not expect it to be a dry system - it would be a standard wet system. Still not fun to clean up but can be done quickly.I doubt it's the sprinkler system. I would guess the system be a dry system. Regardless that doesn't seem like much fun. Alot to clean up
Mechanical fittings fail. Sprinkler heads fail.I'm a sprinklerfitter and don't understand how sprinkler pipe just brakes up there. Assuming it's a wet system. Did something fall on it?
Nah - sprinkler pipes are typically old and leak all the time. Shut the system down, repair the leak, turn the system back on is a couple hour deal. They can investigate the piping later to determine the extent of any system-wide corrosion.
Would sprinklers be effective up there for fire suppression?
Yes.
Plenty of buildings have their HVAC stuff on the roof. Handy place to put things where nobody can see them.
Yep.
... Or if the chillers were on the roof... As it appears they are on Google Earth...
I don't drink. Would this beer be stale?
No need - it's just routine system maintenance and repair. Plenty of codes and standards (too many?) to be followed, for sure.Better grease the city building inspector's hand to do that. I assume there is some sort of code on that has to be followed on fire sprinkler systems.
Never seen one just break. Fittings freeze and bust, and sometimes wet systems leak, but the pipes don't just bust like they sometimes do on regular plumbing lines.Mechanical fittings fail. Sprinkler heads fail.
Pinhole leaks can put out surprising amounts of water!

We have 3 separate sprinkler systems and they are all dry systems. We can fill a 4 story building with foam in 30 seconds. But lots of codes and it would be interesting to see the insides of hiltonI would not expect it to be a dry system - it would be a standard wet system.

That's the Vic off of a dry system. If the system is dry it's certainly possible. It's crazy how fast dry systems rust out.Well, here's one example. It happens.
