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 |
