Vent: That new boiler room in the Huntsville plant is a joke for anyone over 5'8"

Went to do a hydrostatic test at the new Huntsville plant last Thursday and the clearance between the upper drum and the roof deck was barely 4 and a half feet, had to crab walk the whole job - has anyone else dealt with designers who clearly never set foot in a boiler room?

Used to think @grayperez was off on that, but my mind changed after crawling through that Huntsville nightmare. The numbers on paper say one thing, but your actual experience dragging a test cart through there says another. So yeah, your mileage may vary on what counts as real clearance.

Hydrostatic test clearance is measured from the floor, not the drum.
