Scope of Work:

Design a fire alarm system upgrade for an existing high-rise structure with mixed use of business, utility, and predominantly health care. The structure is an existing nine –(9) story high-rise with two –(2) levels of basement. Each of the nine above grade levels has an extensive mezzanine level over each one. The following were significant considerations of the design:

  1. Create design that would allow upgrade while not impacting active health-care operations, and yet simultaneously allow use of existing fire alarm system infrastructure.
  2. Create an evacuation system design compliant with current Veterans Administration standards, while preserving the time and money invested in the local site’s training and response operations.
  3. Integrate the new system with the previously upgraded Building Management System, which also provides smoke control functionality.
  4. Creation of accurate “Record Drawings” to allow new system design compliant with National Fire Standards.
  5. Optimization of existing signal conduit to create fiber optic backbone for campus network.
Status:Complete.
