Many areas are prone to flooding during rainy season or spring thaws, and it is
important for the site to be located above typically anticipated flood levels, or to have
sump pumps to keep the installation site dry. Drainage with a back flow preventer
should be installed if the site has provision for water sources, such as cooling towers.
What protection is there to prevent entry of insects, pests, and vermin?
Pests and vermin such as insects, mice, and spiders prefer warm, sheltered areas.
All entries into the enclosure or shelter should be appropriately sealed and regularly
maintained.
10.4 Site Assessment Checklists
The following site assessment checklists are intended to act as a tool in assessing
the potential risks that must be managed at an installation site. The checklists are not
intended to provide an exhaustive list of all risk factors, but rather to indicate some
of the most common risks.
The first two checklists indicate environmental factors that may result in
malfunctioning or failing equipment if the installation site is not appropriately
deployed and maintained to counteract the detrimental effects of the environment.
For each risk factor that is present, you must consider how to best design the
installation site to avoid the negative effects of the risk factor. For the final checklist,
any question that is answered in the negative indicates that measures must be taken
to correct the installation site appropriately to reduce the risk of equipment damage.
