(9) Highlight all concealed spaces on the drawings
that require sprinkler protection, such as spaces
above suspended ceilings that are either built of
combustible material or are intended for storing
combustible materials.
(10) Provide details on the drawings of pipe
restraints for underground piping. This includes
details of pipe clamps, tie rods, mechanical
retainer glands, and thrust blocks.
When connecting to an existing water distribution
system, waterflow tests will be conducted to
determine available water supply for the sprinkler
system. The Designer will either perform or witness
the waterflow test. The waterflow test results
(including date test is performed) should be
included in the Project Development Brochure;
however it is critical that the waterflow test
results be included in the design documents no later
than the concept submission. Note that the
availability of and funding for the Designer to
participate or witness the waterflow test will be
necessary. The need for fire pumps or a water tank
can in many instances have a significant impact on
the amount programmed for design and construction of
a facility.
A fully designed system will include the items
that is required by Military Handbook 1008C and NFPA
13 for a fully operational system.
