Question, Do you require building permit for sawdust hopper (silos)? the large ones that you can drive a road trailer under and load. I have in the past, but now I am being told it is equipment and not required to have a permit. To my understanding of chapter 4 of the building code and chapter 52 of the fire code a permit should be required. Your thoughts are appreciated.
Thank you,I just have a few clarifying questions: is it located on a farm? or is it a permanent structure? sorry Im not familiar with them.
Thanks
Gregg
Not on a farm, it is a permanent structure, a lumber factory that makes pallets.
thank you,We have addressed similar situations (where not located on a farm and where the equipment is not portable) in that we required permits for the supporting structure and utility connections. Not the piece of equipment itself. However, the equipment specs and installation requirements are necessary to do a proper evaluation on the supporting structure.
