Title: Sprinkler system costs
Post by: boroboy on May 13, 2005, 01:58:28 PM

I am looking for a 'ball park' price for a sprinkler sytem for a factory approximately 1200 (36x25) sq M.  It produces mainly rubber/plastic gaskets.  It is ground with about 25% mezzanine.  I would categorise it as a OHIII.  

The owner is not totally against the idea of retrofitting a system providing of course it is not too expensive.

Any one out there got any ideas on likely 'ish' cost?

Roughly between £10 to £20 per square metre

I advise the owner to contact his insurer in the first instance, their input from day 1 is crucial, they will be able to advise on the design catergory requirements for the given risk, and will in many cases be able to offer generous discounts on the annual premium if it complies with their stated requirements.

I know this is not the orginal question posted, neverthless it's information you may not have considered.

Regards


Gary.
