13.9.1 STORAGE AREAS
All storage areas should be fireproof structures and have concrete floors. They should be located above
ground level, and have adequate ventilation. The area should be protected from direct sunlight since
temperature control is essential. Where lubricants, chemicals and gas bottles are required to be stored,
separate areas should be provided for each. View windows into the storage rooms with light and
ventilation switches located on the outside should be considered in layouts.

13.10 CHLORINE
Leak detection devices should be installed in areas where chlorine is used or stored. Such equipment will
signal the leakage of gas. Storage for gas masks should be provided outside each area where chlorine is
used or stored.

13.11 PUMP STATION

13.11.1 BUILDINGS
Fluorescent lighting should be installed in dry wells approximately 2.5 m above the floor level to provide
adequate lighting for maintenance and operational work and to reduce the amount of shadow. Access to
wet wells should preferably be from the outside of a pump station.

13.11.2 PUMPS
Both suction and delivery pipework should be valved to prevent sludge or gas from entering the work area
when the pumps are removed or dismantled.

13.11.3 WATER SUPPLY

A water supply under a good pressure should be provided in order to hose down both wet and dry wells.

13.11.4 DRY WELLS, ETC.
