TVSFPE,
TVSFPE will be meeting Thursday (9/3/2026) at Mimi's Café in Turkey Creek: https://www.mimiscafe.com/locations/knoxville/
The meeting will be from 6pm to 8pm. The speaker is Liam Wilkie of One Clarion. He will be presenting on:
"Water Supply Storage Considerations for Fire Protection".
Description: Site design and site restrictions vary widely from project to project, and they often dictate the choices a fire protection engineer can make when it comes to water storage infrastructure. This presentation looks at tank selection from the supply side of the industry: how factors such as snow load, available space, budget, lead times, and environmental conditions narrow the field of viable storage options, and why the right tank for one site can be the wrong tank for the next. Attendees will walk through the decision framework One Clarion uses on every project, illustrated with real completed installations, with reference to NFPA 22, NFPA 1142, and NFPA 20.
Speaker Introduction: Liam Wilkie is the Operations Manager at One Clarion, a distributor of water storage and tank solutions serving industrial, municipal, agricultural, and environmental markets since 2008. He has more than ten years of experience in the water storage industry, all with One Clarion, including four years focused on fire protection water supply. Liam has supported fire protection storage projects across the United States and the Caribbean, spanning industries including food processing, energy, winery expansion, retail permitting, and security. He is a member of the NFPA and works daily with owners, engineers, and fire officials to match storage format to site constraints, schedule, and code requirements.
A social hour will be held between 5pm and 6pm. Please note that Mimi's Cafe has food, and is located at 10945 Parkside Dr. Knoxville, TN 37934
