Water is moved to the top floors of high buildings via pumps, which lift the water in stages. We may also see check valves, which prevent the water from flowing back down the pipes. The pumps will be placed at intervals up through the building so that one pump doesn't have to develop all the pressure necessary to lift the water all the way to the top. The lifting of the water is done in stages with pumps.

What is the minimum and maximum water pressure in a building?

The minimum water pressure in a building should generally be around 40 psi (pounds per square inch) to ensure adequate flow for faucets and fixtures. The maximum water pressure is typically around 80-100 psi; pressures above this range can cause damage to pipes and fixtures. It's advisable for buildings to have pressure-reducing valves installed to maintain safe and efficient water pressure levels.


Can you put epoxy sealant over latex paint on cement floor?

I spoke to the one paint dealer I have confidence in and was told yes I can do exactly that i.e. put a latex (not sure about alkyd) two part epoxy coating over my concrete latex floor paint. First I sanded the surface to get a better bond and my next move is to clean the floor. As a suggestion be sure you have a concrete paint on the floor. If not you could have other problems which I encountered originally i.e. paint not adherring to the concrete in the presence of water. USE ARMORGUARD EPOXY FLOOR COATING, It will last forever, its 100% Solid, No fillers, ODORLESS and NON TOXIC, Its also made with MICROBAN to prevent mold, mildew or algae, look on www.ecosmartepoxysystems.com for more information

How high is a 9 story building?

The measurements could be anything, but if you want to approximate dimensions the height could be about 10 feet per floor so a reasonable hieight would be about 1,000 feet tall. The floor plan could be 100 feet by 100 feet.


How much is a 100 meters taller than a 30 story building?

That will depend entirely on the size of the stories in the building. And many buildings have a first floor that will have a 15 to 20, even taller first floor. Also, most buildings have eight to ten feet worth of height from the A/C units, elevator and water equipment on the roof. If you go with ten foot floors (eight foot ceilings and 2 feet for the flooring, support and environmental services) you would have 300 feet vs, 100 meters (328 feet) so the difference would be 28 feet. If your first floor is 30 feet, 8 feet of equipment on the roof and your even.


Very few buildings have this floor number what is it?

Although some would say that few buildings have a floor 13 because of superstition, this is not really the case; far more have a floor 13 than do a floor 50. Only one has anything from floor 120 upwards (the Burj Dubai with 162 in total; its nearest competitor is the ICC in Hong Kong with 118); only 10 or so currently have a floor 100.
