Fire Resistive Ratings:
The gallery of images below shows the fire protection general notes and the fire resistive ratings. The sprinkler system is designed and installed to suit NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) standards. The sprinkler system must take into account all other pipe and duct pathways in order to mitigate the confilctions throughout the building. The contractor must observe that the field conditions and drawing conditions are similar and if it so happens that there is a conflict, it must be properly documented.
The fire pump schedule below lists the pumps required to provide the water for the sprinkler system. The Aurora model located in the fire pump room has a pump capacity of 1000 GPM, 200 PSI and 1770 RPM. This pump must coordinate with electrical and plumbing in order to provide the proper protection for the building. A jockey pump Aurora model is also located in the fire pump room with a capacity of 15 GPM and 120 PSI. There are also electrical requirements for this pump. The double check valve in the water room will help distribute the water to the system in cooperation with the plumbing system.
The sprinkler schedule shows two types, a pendent and a concealed pendent. The symbols help differentiate between the two in plans given by the fire protection drawings. The sprinklers are in accordance with standard fire protection systems, and help in the protection of the building from fire.
