Currently I am doing remedial work for a hotel that had a PIR last year, I will be posting up the crazy coding at a later date but think I'll send it in drips and draps otherwise you may do yourself some damage from laughing too much.

Anyway for now, I've spent the whole day going round the hotel matching up the vaige description of the fault to the actual fault and I'm pretty stuck on 2 joints that are taped up. I've read the description but I canny find the joints for the life of me, where does this leave me? I can't find the fault to fix, therefore how can all the remedial work be completed?

 
For a PIR they should be relatively easy to find,, there's a limitation to the inspecting and testing that you don't inspect what's in the fabric of the building, roof spaces or floor voids...

On the other hand,, if you can't find it, you can't fix it;)

you would have thought wouldn't you, no limitations on this one, must have taken years! and apparantly its a TNC system. First time I've come accross that looks strangely like TNC-S to me, all completed by ECA registered firm. The description for the fault is ' 2 taped up connections in bay need proper termination' Its an 80room hotel with 12 bay windows all checked.

 
I've come across this quite often, I think there are three reasons for it .

(1) The inspecting firm expect to get the remedial work and are often put out when customer goes with someone else.

(2) Its worded ambiguously on purpose for same reason.

(3) The guy is just a partt.
