Intent 1:
To supersede the requirements of Sentence 4.8.9.2.(1) and permit the installation of cargo pumps on piers
or wharves of combustible construction if certain measures are taken
[pumps are located in pump houses conforming to Subsection 4.8.10., and located not less than 3 m from other buildings].
This is to limit the
probability that:
- liquid spillage or leakage will not be contained, which
could lead to the spread of liquid outside of the pump house and to
adjacent buildings and facilities, which could lead to the ignition
of vapour from a nearby ignition source, which could lead to damage
to adjacent buildings and facilities,
- a fire involving the pump house will spread to adjacent
buildings and facilities, which could lead to damage to adjacent buildings
and facilities, and
- leakage or spillage from the pump operations will spread
liquid to adjacent buildings and facilities, which could lead to the
ignition of vapour from a nearby ignition source, which could lead
to damage to adjacent buildings and facilities.
