I'm sure you've seen the trailer with a fire hydrant that was ripped off and jammed between the axles.I'm not sure if these guys see many bollards... they cant back up.

Ha, I remember that one.I'm sure you've seen the trailer with a fire hydrant that was ripped off and jammed between the axles.
It seems like everybody is putting in these gensets in the last few years... I have only seen a few with fuel containment system in place and some of them were indoor telcom units for ATT, most of the outside units are in manufacturing companies and I would say 95 percent of them do not have adequate protection... I think the office worker that is in charge of 'ordering bollard protection' thinks in one dimension and figures a vehicle will only come at the unit from the front... and at a square angle so basically nobody has any common sense anymoreUnless that genset in post 216 has a double-walled fuel tank underneath it, shouldn't it be classed as "fuel storage" and be required to have a bunded area around it for spill containment..?
That might be your get-out to put a reinforced concrete wall right round it. Just a thought.
Its not just where the two different metals touch, but aluminum itself corrodes over time and flakes off in chunks. The fad the last few decades has been to buy aluminum grain trailers in the area, any aluminum surface corrodes where it touches salt and the elements, lately the new fad has been, run them a few years and trade it off for new before it falls into a heap of corroded aluminum.
I'm not sure what's in this new liquid spray garbage the state and counties spray on every hard road surface constantly, but it seems nothing survives that stuff, not even the trucks that spray it on can seem to live more than a few years. I also have no idea why they seem to spray it on every day, you'd think once the roads were clear they'd quit doing it till just before the next storm hits. Not sure what was wrong with sanding the roads either, that seems to be a thing of the past around here unless there's an ice storm or something severe. Here the sand is practically free coming out from the river dredging and the only major cost is hauling it.
