The NFPA 13 technical committee has addressed partial height walls in
ordinary hazard occupancies in the NFPA 13, 2022 edition. Section
10.2.7.3.2.3 and 10.2.7.3.2.4 address partial height walls 12 in. or less
in width. If a sprinkler is installed within 6 in. of the centerline of
the partial
I would think you have to space to the walls or have the walls stop 18"
below the ceiling which it appears it does. The obstructions change for
things below 18" and the chart stops at 18" as well.

By my reckoning, you need about 300 PSI at the ground level to pump 100 PSI to
the roof of what I'll call a 385' tall standpipe system (35x11). Bottom line:
Can the responding FD pump 750 or 1,000 GPM at 300 psi? Most muni
departments can, but that might be at the limit of what they can
It might also depend on the pumping ability of the fire department? How much
pump can they drive up with?

may not be as simple as this ... Am I missing something or
