am i pegged as the anti-sprinkler guy? ;-)
that would be ironic.
I made up the scenario describing how a fire
could break a glass wall with WS protecting.
It was hypothetical
to prove a point: that a failure path existed.
To be sure, that failure path is not very possible.
but then, neither did it seem possible
that I would be tainted as advocating
and championing a design
that I obviously defined
as having short-comings.
I can admit to being a fool.
but I will retool
a design that obviously aint kul....
before I brag about an installation
that cant pass honorable mention.
funny. I get beat up by architects
and lose more jobs from GC's than I should have
because of excessive demands i place on
sprinkler contractors...
i could not agree MORE with downgrading the
importance of whether we got a 1.5 or a 2 hr fire
barrier in a sprinklered building, IF for sure,
we take up the slack
and put that attention back
into getting the sprinkler system
designed,
installed,
tested and maintained correctly.
throw in extra compliments of exits,
and we got a recipe
for going home happily.
then you could retire quite a few FPE's.
been singing this song for years.
don't have many engineers
that sign my reference papers :-(
nor are there many designers
that attach significance to this status
status? ,,,is that what you call this?
feels like a bulls-eye painted on my chest.
sprinklers and exits
is what will give us
a sleep sound status
4 most Light and ordinary
hazard places
WS were tested closed, as they are when installed in the field.
scot deal
excelsior fire
