Our marina project has a fuel dispensing/sanitary pump-out area at the end of a 300 ft. long floating dock. The panel is about 90ft. away from the gasoline dispenser, adjacent to the attendant booth. There is a Diesel dispenser and sanitary pump between, but they are outside the 20 ft. classified zone. Fuel lines are in sleeves with recessed boxes (sumps) along the way. The contract drawings do not classify this area. Maybe an over-site? The original design for electrical in this area is a recessed chase with pull-boxes and sleeves for each item and type-W cable. That's no good in this area. Ocal may be an option but there is one "mate-line" to cross within 20 ft.. I don't think MI cable will be good either, considering the corrosive environment. I have done a lot of hazardous-location electrical work but not on the water. We will go back to the engineer with this but I still want to be pro-active with a solution. Any thoughts out there for this situation?
Thanks.
Thanks.
