Services Provided By CHASE ENGINEERING, PC
Automatic
Sprinkler System Design Chase Engineering provides
complete design of automatic sprinkler systems for buildings and facilities.
Our design experience includes new construction and retrofit systems for
existing buildings. We are familiar with occupancy types including
single-family homes, multi-unit residential buildings, high rise office
buildings, hospital buildings, restaurants, automobile showrooms and service
shops, recycle facilities, warehouse storage buildings, freezer storage
buildings and aircraft hangars. These designs include detailed drawings
produced with AUTO-CAD to provide a completely coordinated system layout that
will avoid conflict with other trades. The hydraulic calculations are
provided using a hydraulic calculation software package to produce accurate
and detailed calculation submittals. The automatic sprinkler system design
submittal will be signed by a registered professional engineer and marked
with his official seal as required for the permitting process. Chase Engineering has been
involved in the automatic sprinkler system design of numerous local facilities
including remodeling of clean room and open office spaces at IBM, several
multi-unit residential buildings including Jeffersonville Senior Living and
many retail stores including Essex Outlet Cinema. The life safety code
consulting consists of egress calculations for the building and code review.
The egress calculations include occupant load calculations, egress capacity
of exits, and travel distances. A complete review of the facility's
compliance with the Life Safety Code and any applicable building codes can be
provided. The life safety system design submittals include AUTO-CAD drawings
graphically indicating the egress calculations and a written report of the
Life Safety Code requirements and recommendations for improvements to the
facility's life safety design. Project experience includes multiplex movie
theaters, shopping malls and high rise residential buildings. Fire
Protection System Design Review Chase Engineering also
provides design reviews for automatic sprinkler system designs, fire alarm
system designs and life safety system designs. These design reviews are
comprehensive reviews of all building code and standard requirements
applicable to the fire and life safety of the facility. A completed report
will indicate all applicable requirements and any deficiencies found in the
design. Recommended improvements will be provided if needed. Project
experience includes several federal courthouses, office buildings and the
Center for Disease Control in Engineered
Life Safety Studies Engineered life safety plans
provided by Chase Engineering meet the requirement from NFPA 101 as an
alternative to retrofit of existing high-rise apartment buildings with
automatic sprinkler protection throughout the building. These plans include a
thorough review of existing fire protection features and any existing
deficiencies. Each deficiency is addressed with recommendations of how to
meet the code requirements. Existing building features such as fire walls and
barriers, fire detection, low surface combustibility, building services, etc.
are reviewed and incorporated into an overall life safety system plan to be
presented to the local building officials for acceptance as an alternative to
automatic sprinkler protection. Project experience includes numerous
high-rise apartment buildings and condominiums in |
