I have two questions.
Firstly I need to bond the water pipe where I work with 50mm (PME, with a neutral over 150mm). It just so happens the structural steel is bonded and would do very well as the bonding for the water pipe if I run a 50mm to it. I have loads of 35mm green and yellow, can I run two 35mm cables and bond the water pipe to the structural steel with these or would this be considerd bad practice?
Secondly, I am probably going to be asked to put in about 4 TP&N boards in the main warehouse and replace about two thirds of the lighting circuits. There are no emergency lights in the place whatsoever and the owner won't want me to put them in unless he is obliged to by the building regs. I'm not sure of the regs re emergency lighting in an old building. The warehouse area is well over 60 m[SUP]2[/SUP] so it would have to have them if it was a new building...and the smart thing to do would be to put them in but its not my building, so it's not my call. Is there a building reg that says old buildings need emergency lights when being partially rewired?
Help please.
